The selection of jury has begun in Britney Spears’ trial, on a driving-without-a-license charge, at the San Fernando Valley courtroom. The first slate of potential jurors, identified only by numbers, who arrived on Wednesday morning expressed doubts about the 26-year-old pop star’s innocence.

One of the jurors, an elderly woman who works as a substitute teacher, said: “I’m sure that she’s guilty. From what I see in the media, I cannot be fair, I have bias.”

The other prospect, a middle-aged male employed as a sandwich maker, also held a similar opinion: “I think this case is a slam dunk. I think she’s guilty.”

The case against Spears stems from an August 2007 incident in which she hit a car in a Los Angeles parking lot, while being pursued by the paparazzi. She had a Louisiana license, but not a California license. Prosecutors claim that as longtime California resident, she should have had a license from that state.

The trial began after a year of legal bickering in which the pop star rejected plea deals. She faces up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. However, this incident has since been settled with the struck car’s owner outside of court for an undisclosed amount.

Superior Court Judge James A. Steele said that the trial on the misdemeanor charge, which does not require Spears to appear in court, is expected to last three days. The potential list of witnesses includes Spears’ father Jamie, several police officers, and a photographer.

There were neither any opening statements nor were the witnesses heard. By the end of the day, only one potential juror, out of a total of 31 brought in, was excused because she stated that she “deals with Britney Spears’ business manager.”
