McCready withdraws guilty plea

Country singer Mindy McCready has withdrawn her guilty plea over a 2005 driving violation, and her people are calling for a retrial after new paperwork emerged.

Country singer Mindy McCready has withdrawn her guilty plea regarding a driving violation last year. I've kind of last track of this story. There was something about McCready being accused of drinking under the influence and without a licence back in May 2005 - she was acquitted of the former but pleaded guilty to the latter, which was a bigger deal than normal because she was already on probation from an earlier charge of fraudulently obtaining drugs from a pharmacy. Anyway, her people now claim that paperwork has come to light which means that McCready was actually licenced at the time of the May 2005 arrest, and as a result they are calling for a retrial. So, now you know.
