A jury in Los Angeles is determining whether Britney Spears will have a new record: a criminal one.
Prosecutors and defence lawyers made their closing arguments this morning in the pop singer’s trial for driving without a licence.
The jury of eight women and four men began its deliberations soon afterwards.
Spears hit a parked car last year while driving in California on her Louisiana licence. Her lawyer said she did not meet the state’s residency requirements and was within the law.
But prosecutors said the 26-year-old had got married, had two children and filed for divorce in Los Angeles, and was ostensibly a California resident.
Spears did not attend court during the two-day trial.
