Courtney Love pleads innocence

First Courtney Love told David Letterman she's innocent. Then she told Jay Leno she's innocent. On Friday, she finally got to tell someone even more important--a judge--that, yes, she's innocent.

The America's Sweetheart singer turned up for her arraignment in Beverly Hills Superior Court Friday and pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of drug possession stemming from her well documented October meltdown.

Decked out in a black trench coat, Love, 39, was generally subdued during the proceedings. She kept quiet, thumbing through a book, until it was time for her to enter her plea.

Love faces up to three years and eight months in prison if convicted of the two counts; she was ordered back to court for a pretrial hearing on June 4.

Judge Elden S. Fox already ruled two weeks ago that there was sufficient evidence for Love to stand trial.

That came after Love's arresting officer testified that the grunge survivor had a small baggie containing two pills--one was hydrocodone, better known as Vicodin, and the other, oxycodone, aka Percocet. The officer said Love referred to the bag as "her stash."
