DISTRICT ATTORNEY RAYMOND A. TIERNEY’S STATEMENT REGARDING PLEA IN JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE CASE
“Today, Mr. Timberlake chose to plead guilty and accept responsibility for driving while his ability was impaired by alcohol. We appreciate his willingness to hold himself accountable for his behavior, and for using his platform to increase public awareness about the dangers of drunk driving.
As previously stated, Mr. Timberlake received the same treatment as any other defendant. Justice should be applied equally to all individuals, regardless of their wealth or celebrity status. Drunk and drugged driving is an extremely serious nationwide public safety issue. These drivers threaten the lives of random and innocent roadway users of every age, gender, ethnicity, and economic status. In 2024, with the prevalence and convenience of public transit and ride-shares, there is no excuse to get behind the wheel when you are impaired in any way. My office remains committed to holding individuals accountable for driving while intoxicated or impaired by drugs, and we will continue to work towards ensuring the safety of our community.”
