Britney Spears Escapes Charges Over Paparazzi Accident
Britney Spears will not face any charges over an incident last year in which she allegedly ran over a photographer's foot.
Los Angeles prosecutors said Spears was not at fault and the evidence doesn't prove that she knowingly left the scene of an accident, according to published reports. Deputy District Attorney Joseph Shidler noted in a report that it is possible Spears wasn't even aware that the alleged victim's foot had been struck due to the commotion and noise when a group of paparazzi surrounded the singer's car.
Prosecutors said a video, which circulated on the Internet, does not show the photographer's foot being run over; the photographer filed a police report about six months after the November incident. Prosecutors also said the only way the victim's foot could have been under Spears' tire, is if he himself had put it there, according to a Reuters report.
