Once again, she managed to turn things around: Singer Courtney Love appeared in court in Beverly Hills (California) and thereby avoided a possible arrest. A judge from the Superior Court had threatened with an arrest warrant last week after Love failed to attend a scheduled hearing.
The 39-year-old actress and rock singer must answer for illegal possession of prescription medications. The next hearing has been set for March 16. It could be decided then whether a trial will take place.
In November, Love had already pleaded "not guilty" to the charges in court. If the singer admits her guilt and participates in a drug rehabilitation program, she might be able to avoid prosecution and a prison sentence. Love arrived in court accompanied by several bodyguards and a new lawyer. Her former lawyer had excused her absence last week citing "security concerns," without providing further details.
The charges against the widow of singer Kurt Cobain are related to a nighttime incident in early October when Love was picked up by the police on the street. She had broken windows at her ex-boyfriend's house. Love was released on bail after her arrest, but was taken to a hospital a few hours later due to a drug overdose. According to the prosecution, she was in possession of two prescription painkillers.
