Britney Spears will not be charged in an accident that occurred last year when the singer ran over a paparazzo's foot with her car. The unidentified photographer pressed charges, but Los Angeles prosecuters said he was to blame for the consequential injuries.The incident took place in November when a career photographer claimed Spears drove over his foot while in a swarm of paparazzi outside the Four Seasons hotel.
Deputy District Attorney Joseph D. Shidler reviewed the police records and a videotape of the incident, and he wrote in his report Friday that the "only way the victim's foot could have been where the video indicates it to be was by the victim placing it in that location."
The videotapes reportedly showed no evidence of a photographer being hit, but the attorney's report did say, "There was a lot of noise and confusion as the photographers were jockeying for position." It also reported that Spears was "driving at an extremely slow rate of speed and in a straight path."
The paparazzo filed the report in May, almost six months after the alleged accident. His police complaint reportedly sought a felony charge of failing to stop after an accident that involved injury.
Spears spoke to police at the time and said she did not recall hitting anyone. The district attorney's office concurred that they had no evidence to prove she was aware of leaving the scene of an accident.
In other Spears legal news, documents were released today detailing a request from her father for payments connected to his conservatorship of the singer. Jamie Spears filed a document seeking an undisclosed sum of money to help his daughter buy groceries, deal with child custody matters and to pay for visits he made while she was in the hospital in February and March. It also stated that he has held meetings to increase security measures at her house.
A hearing about Jamie Spears' temporary, joint conservatorship is scheduled for Tuesday.
