It's official – Britney's troubles are over


We still find it really hard to believe that just ten months ago, Britney Spears was about to be sectioned. Just look how far she's come in such a short time, and today especially marks a turnaround in the singer's life – well, according to her lawyer. Following on from Britney's traffic case being declared "a mistrial" earlier this week, the star's legal man Michael Flanagan had this to say: "This victory closes a chapter on her past troubles," he said. "It marks a turnaround for her. This case was a thorn in her side for more than a year, a reminder of the bad old days," he continued, before adding, "She's thrilled the court system, for once, worked in her favour." Although she never discussed it in public, it's clear now that the outcome of this latest case must have been really worrying Britney, especially as she could've faced a fine and even a spell in jail had she been found guilty. In the end, the jury said they had not been given enough evidence to find Britney guilty of any offence, and the case was dismissed." With a rumoured appearance at the MTV Europe Music Awards and *scream* a performance on The X Factor all coming up in the next few months, it must be nice for Brit to be able to relax and focus on her amazing comeback. We sincerely hope we never have to write the words "court" and "Britney" in the same story again and, we're happy to say, we don't think we ever will be.
