That paparazzo who pressed charges against Britney Spears because she ran over his foot has lost his case against her. The unidentified photographer, as previously reported, filed a complaint in May, about six months after the incident occurred, seeking a felony charge of failing to stop after an accident involving an injury. Reviewing the case, the LA County District Attorney's office saw a videotape and images of the event which portrayed a chaotic scene, with photographers on all sides of Spears car and "a lot of noise and confusion". The singer herself was judged to have been "driving at an extremely slow rate of speed and in a straight path", and therefore, wrote Deputy District Attorney Joseph D. Shidler in a report, the "only way the victim's foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location".
