Justin Bieber Behind the Bars? (READ MORE)

Justin Bieber facing six months in jail if his paparazzi assault case makes it to courts. But experts say the star isn't likely to wind up behind bars.

Dmitry Gorin, a criminal defense lawyer, tells the Los Angeles Times that Bieber is the latest celebrity to fall into the "paparazzi trap" -- when a star is cornered by the photogs and lashes out.

"Bieber could face a charge if he pushed or hit the photographer and it was not in self-defense," Gorin added. "But it is not really a jail-time offense."Authorities are continuing to investigate.

For Bieber, meanwhile, it's business as usual. His Die in Your Arms single was released Tuesday, as the pop star jetted off to Oslo, where he is causing fans to swoon and scream.
