LOS ANGELES, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- The prosecutor in Britney Spears's Los Angeles trial contends the pop star should be convicted of driving without a valid license at the time of an accident.
Prosecutor Michael Amerian said while the 26-year-old singer claims to have had a valid driver's license from her native Louisiana at the time of the August 2007 accident, her recent years living in Los Angeles should be considered by the jury, People magazine reported Friday.
"Every significant occurrence of Britney Spears's life has occurred in Los Angeles," he said, referring to the singer's need for a California license. "She is a California resident."
"If you follow the law and use common sense, you'll find the defendant is guilty," added Amerian, who said there is no hard evidence of Spears having a valid Louisiana license.
Spears is facing a maximum jail sentence of six months and a $1,000 fine if convicted for not having a valid California driver's license when she got into an August 2007 car accident.
The jury in the "Toxic" singer's trial did not reach a verdict after two hours of deliberations and will reconvene after the weekend for additional deliberations, People reported.
