Britney Not Charged For Running Over Foot






Britney Spears has had a lucky streak - she's gotten off scot-free from being charged for allegedly running over a photographer's foot last year.

The photographer in question did not file the claim against Britney until six months after the incident. Prosecutors ruled that the only way his foot could have been where the video evidence indicated was that if he had put it there himself.

According to District Attorney Joseph Shidler, Britney's car was surrounded by paparazzi at the time of the incident, and a voice on the video footage told Spears to back up.

"We have no evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect was aware that the victim's foot had been struck by the car," Shidler said.

"There was much commotion and noise at the time and there is no proof that [Spears] was aware of what had happened."

Britney arrived in her family's home-town in Kentwood, Louisiana earlier today for the birth of her sister Jamie-Lynn's baby.
