Judge Continues Spears' Traffic Case

A judge put the brakes on Britney Spears' driving without a license case Wednesday after her lawyers said they don't believe the troubled pop star is capable of resolving the matter. Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman continued the misdemeanor case until March 20 after lawyer J. Michael Flanagan said Spears' conservatorship attorneys "do not think she is qualified or capable of entering into a binding agreement" at this time. The attorneys also don't believe Spears, 26, is capable of giving a deposition or signed statement.

US Court Weighs Guantanamo Case

A new US appeals court is due to hear the case of Canadian accused of killing a US soldier in Afghanistan. The US Court of Military Commission Review will hear a US government appeal against a decision by military judges in June to throw out Mr. Khadr's case. The case collapsed because US military authorities had failed to designate him an unlawful enemy combatant. They had sought to make Mr.Khadr one of the first Guantanamo Bay inmates to be tried before a military commission.
