Justin Bieber Takes a Plea Deal in Miami DUI Case!!

Justin Bieber has reportedly agreed a plea deal in his driving under the influence (DUI) case and will attend anger management classes, sources told the Miami Herald newspaper.

According to the insiders, JB is not expected to attend a hearing for the case in Florida (August 13), he will attend a 12-hour private anger management course as it is feared public sessions would turn into a “frenzy”.

He will also have to view online videos of stories of real-life DUI cases with tragic ends, pay court fines and a $50,000 donation to charity.

Justin’s best friend Khalil Sharieff, who was arrested at the same time when they allegedly drag raced, is expected to receive a similar plea deal.

Miami police arrested Justin & Khalil in January for racing down Pine Island Drive, which had been blocked off by jb’s security team, and JB was said to have unleashed a string of expletives when stopped by officers.

Police claimed Justin admitted smoking marijuana and taking prescription medication, with a urine sample testing positive for the drug and anxiety pills Xanax.

However, his blood-alcohol levels were well below the legal limit and he didn’t appear intoxicated in police surveillance videos.

To be honest, am just relieved that this has been settled and we can all move on and be there for Justin as he does what the judge has decided. Too tired of this same old case.

Justin Bieber’s Miami DUI Case Delayed until August 5!!

Judge William Altfield (far left) presides in court as assistant state attorney David Gilbert, left, and defense attorney Mark Shapiro (right) present their case during a hearing to determine whether Justin Bieber will be tried on charges of driving under the influence and resisting arrest, Wednesday, July 16, 2014, in Miami.

Justin Bieber’s lawyers and Florida prosecutors have said they need more time to work out a possible plea deal on charges that Justin Bieber drove under the influence and resisted arrest.

Assistant State Attorney David Gilbert and JB’s attorney Mark Shapiro asked for an additional 3 weeks.

Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield has now reset the matter for August 5.

Gilbert said at a brief hearing – which Justin didn’t attend – that the two sides would inform Judge Altfield on that date how the plea negotiations were progressing “and set a trial date, if necessary”.

Justin was arrested early on January 23, 2014 in Miami Beach after what police described as an illegal street race between JB’s rented Lamborghini and a Ferrari driven by a friend, Khalil Amir Sharieff.

Neither was charged with drag racing.

Alcohol breath tests found Justin’s level below Florida’s 0.02 limit for underage drivers but urine tests showed the presence of marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in his system.

Justin was also charged with resisting arrest and driving on an expired license.

why di they keep delaying and dragging this matter?

Justin Bieber DUI Charges Dropped: Plea Deal Includes Anger Management Courses!!

Justin Bieber has worked out a plea deal for the DUI charges against him in connection with his Miami Beach arrest in January.

A source confirms to Us Weekly that the charges will be dropped in exchange for Justin attending anger management courses.

In addition to driving under the influence (DUI), Justin was charged with resisting arrest; police claimed in their report that he cursed at them and ignored their instructions.

The insider says noting that Justin won’t even be put on probation:

It’s a really good deal and he’s happy with it. He thinks it’s fair. He just wants to put the whole bad episode behind him and move on.

According to TMZ, the reported settlement took so long because the judge wanted Justin to appear in an anti-drug PSA as part of his plea bargain. But the judge ultimately backed down.
TMZ also reports Justin will not be placed on probation, nor will he have to attend a drug and alcohol education course.

In other good news, Justin also learned this week that he won’t face a felony charge for the cellphone-snatching incident he got into in May 2014.

CNN reported Friday, June 13, that the L.A. County district attorney decided not to pursue “felony prosecution.” The robbery complaint — from a woman at Sherman Oaks Castle Park — will instead to go the city attorney, who will determine whether to file a misdemeanor charge against the Biebs.

I'm glad he’s not going to jail. this is a good plea deal. I just hope that we won't find ourselves in this position any time soon. Let's put this whole situation behind now and move on.

Justin Bieber Delays his May 5th Dui Trial in Miami!!

Justin Bieber is seeking a delay in his trial currently scheduled to begin next month on Florida charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license.
Justin’s lawyers Roy Black filed a motion Monday saying they need more time to prepare their case. Justin’s trial is set for May 5th in Miami.

The motion says prosecutors do not oppose a delay.
Justin’s attorney initially asked for a 60-day delay from the previous May 5 trial date, but Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield extended the postponement even further to July 7th.

Judge Altfield said at a brief hearing Wednesday April 23rd:

I want to give everyone plenty of time.

Justin Bieber was not present at the brief hearing, as he’s currently in Japan.

I hope this case goes nowhere, I just want it to end and he doesn’t get in trouble for the DUI especially because the breathalyzer proves he was under the legal limit so that should be dropped and he wasn’t speeding because the gps in the lamborghini that he was driving proved it and you can’t rigg one that’s built in drugs especially the marijuana  in his sytem were apparently recomended by his doctor to relax because he was suffering from depression.

Reports Say That Justin Bieber to REJECT the Prosecutor’s Plea Deal!!

Justin Bieber is about to reject a plea deal over demands he should submit for random drug testing, reports say.
Justin was arrested in January 23, and facing charges in Miamiof resisting officers and DUI.
The State Attorney was alleged ready to drop both charges if he agreed to undergo random testing for substance use and commit 40 hours of community service, but sources say Justin will reject the offer in a sensational turn of events.
According to TMZ, sources close to JB believe the prosecutor’s offer should be declined because Justin doesn’t want to be under the constant threat of probation — and  this would make him a spectacle.
via TMZ:

There are several reasons they (JB team) aren’t buying what prosecutors are selling. First, there are huge problems with the case — they believe the cop lied when he said Bieber reeked of booze (he only blew a .014), and he was also lying about observing Bieber drag race — the GPS device registered a very reasonable 27 MPH.

But the bigger issue is this — Bieber will NOT accept any plea that has probation … where the judge can throw the book at him if he screws up.

In particular there’s NO WAY Bieber will agree to random drug testing. Fact is … he has a problem with weed and sizzurp. If you don’t understand his worry, just remember Lindsay Lohan, who became a habitual probation offender for more than 7 years.

Justin will not accept an alcohol ed course as part of a plea deal, because he’d become a spectacle.

The media will make a spectacle, it will be a huge frenzy and if it was me in Justin's shoes, I would't agree to that either. I mean, if we look at this, why should he agree to any of the terms set? The Florida State Attorney should drop all the charges! He was stopped under false pretences, and then charged with other violations. He was under the alcohol limit, so why should he Attend and alcohol ed course, Attend a “victim impact panel” (where relatives of DUI victims share their stories) an Install an ignition interlock device? This device is for alcohol not marijuana or prescription medication. This is BS!

What do you guys think? should Justin agree to the plead deal or reject it?

Justin Bieber Reportedly Arrested in Miami for DUI & Drag Racing!!

Justin was reportedly arrested and taken into police custody early Thursday for drag racing and being under the influence of an unknown substance, reports NBC Miami. According to Miami Beach Police Sgt. Bobby Hernandez, the incident happened about 4 am. He told the Orlando Sun-Sentinel:

He was pulled over and failed a field sobriety test. He was then taken to the police station to be offered a breathalyzer.

TMZ and CNN report that Justin is in custody and is at the police department where he is being tested — to measure his blood alcohol level. His next stop will likely be Miami-Dade County’s Main Jail, where he will be booked and processed and bail will be set.

According to TMZ, Justin had just left a club and was driving a yellow Lamborghini at the time cops spotted him in a residential neighborhood. Sources say the person Justin was racing was also arrested — he was in a red Lamborghini.

The Opa-locka Police Department is also investigating. A police spokesman told NBC 6:

We know it was an unauthorized detail. We are trying to determine where the authorization for the officers to escort Mr. Bieber came from, where he was escorted and how many of our officers were involved.

According to Miami Beach Police Chief Raymond Martinez, Justin will be charged with DUI, resisting arrest and driving with an expired Georgia license. He is expected to be booked into the Miami-Dade County Jail.

TMZ released Justin´s police report.

This cannot be happening! It just can´t. I would be lying in if I said that I am not pissed off and disappointed at Justin at this moment. I think most Beliebers will agree with me that this tends to draw the line and that he should search for help. Like this is messed up! I was and still am shocked as hell. I have no words for this, it´s just too much. Going to jail.....I cannot handle this, my head feels like it´s going to explode. He needs counselling. I´m more pissed off that he was risking his life and of others rather than the fact that he was high. He should have called a taxi ro for someone to pick him up.
