Justin Bieber just copped a plea in a
criminal assault case involving
Selena Gomez, a paparazzo and an
ATV. Justin appeared in a Canadian
court via Skype. The singer was in
the office of his lawyer, Howard
Weitzman, when he pled guilty to
simple assault and careless driving.
The incident went down in Ontario
last summer, when Justin crashed
his ATV into the minivan of a
photog, who was taking pics of Justin
and then-GF Selena. The judge
warned the Biebs, “The lesson in all
of this is to think before you act in
the future.” The plea was a good
deal for Justin. He has to pay a $750
fine and that’s it. There’s no jail, no
probation. The whole thing goes
away. Bieber’s lawyer, Brian
Greenspan, said he worked with
prosecutors to hammer out the deal,
which he described as fair. He was
quick to point out that no one was
injured in the incident and the pap
involved in the incident later pled
guilty to trespassing.
