Britney Spears' lawyer has rejected a plea deal which would have seen the singer on probation for a year, as well as paying a $150 fine, in relation to that 2007 incident in which she hit a parked car and then left the scene without notifying the owner.
As previously reported, the attorney, J Michael Flanagan, had previously requested that his client not stand trial for a number of reasons, one of them being that she is still not in charge of her own affairs.
Flanagan says that he would consider an offer that would reduce the charge, from a misdemeanour to an infraction, which would mean she would merely have to pay a $10 fine, and added that he will appeal any conviction if the trial, set for later this month, goes ahead. He claims that Spears is being unfairly targeted because of her celebrity status.
