Canadian prosecutors drop Bieber charges
By Chris Cooke | Published on Tuesday 9 September 2014
Prosecutors in Canada have said they are dropping an assault charge against Justin Bieber, but before you start thinking this relates to that paparazzo altercation last week, you need to get your mental list of Bieber charges in order.
No, this relates to that chauffeur altercation that took place in Toronto last December. Remember? What do you mean your mental list of Bieber charges has merged into a messy blur of tedium? Anyway, prosecutors reckon that, despite claims the pop brat hit a limo driver several times in the back of the head, there is insufficient evidence to secure a conviction.
A legal rep for JB, Brian Greenspan, cut and paste the ‘charges dropped’ section from his much utilised ‘Bieber Charge Response’ sheet, and told reporters “it was the right decision based on the evidence and we’re pleased”.
The brat is now due in court on 29 Sep to deal with those more recent charges.
