Britney Spears is prepared to go to trial in her misdemeanor driving-without-license case after rejecting a plea offer of a year’s probation and a $150 fine, her lawyer said Wednesday.

The pop singer, 26, was being targeted because she’s a celebrity and doesn’t deserve even a minor criminal conviction on her record, lawyer J. Michael Flanagan said during a Los Angeles court hearing. He said he would instead consider an infraction for Spears and a lesser fine.

Her trial is set for Oct. 15 in Van Nuys.
