Pop star Britney Spears will not be imprisoned following her recent plea to a less serious charge. On Monday, her lawyer entered a "wet reckless" plea for the 44-year-old singer, leading to her DUI charge being dismissed. This means 12 months probation, a compulsory DUI class, and payment of various court fines and fees.
