Justin Bieber Might Be Going To Trial In DUI Case, Faces Up To 2 Years In Jail

Well this is getting interesting. It looks like Justin Bieber and the Miami Beach prosecutors will not strike a plea deal, which means that a trial is now extremely likely.

TMZ first reported that prosecutors working the case were offering a no contest plea to reckless driving. If Bieber had accepted the deal, he would have had to submit to random drug testing for 6 to 9 months. And we all know Bieber doesn’t want to give up his drugs, so he is refusing to accept the deal.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they will not agree to any deal if Bieber doesn’t agree to the random drug testing. It doesn’t look like either side is willing to budge, so a trial is the most likely outcome in this case.

And honestly, a trial might not be a bad thing for the 19-year-old pop star. We all know the officers who pulled him over that night have some things to explain. They might have been lying about how much alcohol they smelled on Bieber, and one officer claimed Bieber was drag racing at the time. However, that seems unlikely because reports show Bieber only going at around 30 MPH.

It should be noted that Bieber did reach speeds of up to 130 MPH earlier in the night, but that happened well before police officers stopped him.

If the case does go to trail, Justin could be looking at 2 1/2 years in jail. That’s just the worst case scenario, though. It’s unlikely that he would even go to jail.
