Drunkst Thief Gets A Retrial

You know, the whole "he made me do it" excuse is so first grade.

James Jimenez, one of the two men charged with the theft of Kirsten Dunst's property, is now getting a retrial in December. James is saying that his partner in crime Jarrod Beinerman, who is already sentenced to four years in prison, "duped him into participating unwittingly in the August 2007 heist at the SoHo Grand Hotel."

Uh-huh. Sure. You had NO IDEA what you were doing.

James has already been convicted of a misdemeanor criminal trespass charge, but the jury was deadlocked on the felony burglary counts. So a retrial is now scheduled in NYC.

No word yet if Kiki will sober up and testify.
