Jury selection began yesterday for Britney Spears' driving without a license case. Unfortunately for Britney, things didn't start off too well: two potential jurors declared they were pretty confident she was guilty of the charge.
"I'm sure that she's guilty," said the juror, an elderly woman who works as a substitute teacher. "From (what I see in) the media, I cannot be fair, I have bias."
Another prospect (the jurors are identified only by number), a middle-aged male employed as a sandwich maker, also said, "I think this case is a slam dunk. I think she's guilty."
By day's end, only one potential juror out of a total of 31 brought in was excused because she stated that she "deals with Britney Spears's business manager."
The charge stems from Spears's fender-bender in August 2007 in which she had a Louisiana license but not a California license. Prosecutors claim that as longtime California resident, she should have had a license from that state.
For reasons I don't understand, Britney refused a plea deal in the case, and instead decided to go to trial. If found guilty, Britney could face one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
