Orlando Bloom will not be charged


No suprise here. Orlando Bloom walked away from the scene of his accident on October 12th - and now the actor will walk away from the whole affair legally unscathed, as the L.A. County D.A. has decided not to file hit-and-run charges against him.

The D.A. has cited "insufficient evidence" as a reason for not pursuing the matter. In other words, the video of Orlando apparently walking away from the accident did not definitively establish flight. The court document said:


[Bloom] walked approximately 60 feet from the scene in an apparent attempt to avoid paparazzi's continued pursuit. ... [Bloom] was not D.U.I. but was dazed.

It really is a perk to be a celeb, being famous equals innocent? Oh well, I hope he will at least pay for the car spoilers. Congrats Orlando.
