Justin Timberlake, the pop sensation we all know and love, recently found himself in hot water after being arrested on DWI-related charges. However, his lawyer is now coming forward with some shocking claims that may change the narrative entirely.
According to Timberlake's attorney, Edward Burke Jr., the most crucial detail to note is that the singer was not intoxicated at the time of his arrest. In a statement to Page Six, Burke vehemently denied the allegations, stating, "Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI."
During a recent hearing, Burke pointed out a critical error made by prosecutors in the case. He highlighted that the initial charging papers lacked a superior officer's signature, suggesting that the entire case should be dropped.
Burke went on to criticize the Sag Harbor police, alleging that they made several significant mistakes throughout the arrest process. "The police made a number of very significant errors in this case," he claimed, hinting at a potential mishandling of the situation.
Despite the legal turmoil, Burke emphasized that Timberlake holds law enforcement in high regard and cooperated with officers during the incident. "He respects law enforcement and the very important job that they do," the attorney stated.
Timberlake, who was on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour at the time of the arrest, is set to face his arraignment on August 2. The singer, known for hits like "Cry Me a River" and "SexyBack," is expected to attend the hearing virtually.
When news of Timberlake's arrest broke, reports surfaced detailing the events leading up to the incident. Witnesses claimed to have seen the singer allegedly intoxicated at a Long Island hotel, while others supported Timberlake's account of only having one martini.
Despite conflicting reports, Timberlake's lawyer remains steadfast in his defense of the star. "He was not intoxicated, and they made an error in arresting him for it," Burke reiterated, expressing confidence that the charges will be dismissed.
As the legal battle unfolds, fans of the beloved artist eagerly await the outcome of this unexpected chapter in Timberlake's life. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
