Justin Timberlake’s Lawyer Claims Singer Was Not Intoxicated During DWI Arrest
Justin Timberlake’s lawyer claims he was not drunk during arrest
In a shocking turn of events, pop sensation Justin Timberlake’s attorneys have claimed that he was not intoxicated when he was arrested for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) back in June in Sag Harbour, New York. The singer’s lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., made this statement in court on Friday, July 26, during a hearing regarding the case.
Burke argued that there were errors in the documents submitted by the police department during Timberlake’s arrest and requested the court to dismiss the case outright. Justice Carl Irace of Sag Harbour Village agreed to review the motion raised by Timberlake’s lawyers but instructed them to make any necessary amendments to the charges before the next hearing scheduled on August 2.
Despite his absence in court on Friday due to his Forget Tomorrow Tour in Europe, Timberlake will be required to attend the next hearing online. His lawyer reiterated to reporters that the singer was not intoxicated at the time of his arrest and expressed confidence that the DWI charge will be dismissed.
In a statement to CNN, Timberlake’s lawyer emphasized, “The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI. The police made a number of very significant errors in this case.” He also highlighted Timberlake’s cooperation with law enforcement throughout the incident and stressed the importance of respecting the judicial process.
The hearing on Friday came weeks after Timberlake was arrested under one count of DWI and two citations for traffic violations. Despite the legal proceedings, sources close to Timberlake and his wife, Jessica Biel, disclosed that the couple is focusing on work and family amid the ordeal. They have unwavering faith in their legal team and are committed to moving forward from the incident.
As the case unfolds, fans and supporters of Timberlake eagerly await the outcome of the legal battle and continue to stand by the pop star during this challenging time.
