Pitbull found not guilty on drunk driving charges
Hip hop rapper Pitbull was acquitted of drunk driving charges this month.
According to NBC Miami, Pitbull was pulled over by police after he was caught driving 93-mph–about 40 miles over the speed limit.
The officer said Pitbull failed a field sobriety test, and concluded he was drunk. However, in the courtroom, Pitbull told jurors he was only targeted because he’s a celebrity.
Also, the field sobriety test was not caught on the officer’s dashboard camera. Apparently, the jury believed his story because they found him not guilty.
I hate to second guess a jury’s decision, but the argument that Pitbull was only targeted because he’s a celebrity is weak.
Pitbull is not a famous celebrity yet. Yes, he has a hit song on the radio right now. His song “I Know You Want Me” is currently number 8 on the Billboard charts.
However, most people still don’t even know who he is or what he looks like. I guarantee you the police officer certainly didn’t know who he was.
