UPDATE: Britney Due In Court Again...

Britney Spears could still face trial for driving without a valid license. A judge yesterday (Wednesday) denied the pop princess's plea to have the charge against her dismissed. The singer's attorney believes his client is getting worse treatment because she is a high profile celebrity. Michael Flanagan told E! News,

"The law is clear. She should have just been issued a notice to correct pursuant to the vehicle code. They did not do that. They just moved to prosecute. And she corrected it by obtaining a valid California license before she even got the notice." 

Britney, 26, found herself in legal hot water in September last year, after she allegedly hit a parked car in Studio City, California. She was charged with hit and run, and driving without a license - but the hit and run charge was eventually dropped. 

Britney's lawyers have since been trying to get the remaining charge dismissed. But Judge James Steele has thrown out their latest attempt, meaning an October trial could still take place.
