Britney Spears avoids jail after wet-reckless DUI plea
Britney Spears pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DUI in Ventura County, accepting a wet-reckless plea that avoids jail time and imposes 12 months of probation plus a DUI education program; the deal was aided by no prior DUI history, no crash or injury, and a low blood-alcohol level, following her March arrest and a brief stint in treatment before the arraignment.
