Courtney Love to face trial

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., April 15 (UPI) -- A judge in Beverly Hills, Calif., Thursday ordered rocker Courtney Love to stand trial on charges of drug-possession, MTV news reported.

Love and her former lawyer have said the charges stemmed from three pills found in her possession. Her new lawyers, however, and the deputy district attorney said Love handed over a bag of 30 pills.

Her lawyer, Michael Rosenstein, told reporters outside the courthouse the district attorney's office was "wasting court time and taxpayer money" by trying to make an example of the singer, who had been prescribed all the medication found in her possession.

Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Stodel said Love was being treated "the same way we would treat anyone else found with an illegal substance."

An arraignment on the charges was set for April 30.
