Justin Bieber goes on trial on May 5

A May 5 trial date has been set for Justin Bieber in the case charging him with driving under the influence, resisting arrest and possessing an invalid driver’s licence.

Prosecutors in Florida also said at a hearing that no plea offer has been made for the 20-year-old pop singer. He has pleaded not guilty.

The first trial date was postponed while lawyers for news organisations and Bieber wrestled with release of police videos of him giving a urine sample for a drug test.

Bieber and R&B singer Khalil Amir Sharieff were arrested on January 23 in Miami Beach after what police called an illegal drag race with high-end sports cars.

Breath tests showed Bieber’s blood-alcohol content was below the 0.02 limit for under-age drivers. Other tests detected marijuana and Xanax.
