Britney Spears' battery investigation turned over to Ventura County district attorney

“It is routine for a matter like this to be sent to the DA’s misdemeanor unit,” Spears’ attorney, former federal prosecutor Mathew Rosengart, told Fox News in a statement on Friday.

"To its credit, the Sheriff’s Department has already acknowledged that the matter, even as alleged, involved an ‘extremely minor’ or ‘very minor’ misdemeanor, with obviously ‘no injuries,’" he continued.  "This is nothing more than sensational tabloid fodder – an alleged misdemeanor involving a ‘he said she said’ regarding a cell phone, with no striking and obviously no injury whatsoever," Rosengart pressed, echoing a similar sentiment to Fox News earlier this week. "Anyone can make an accusation. This should have been closed immediately."
