Apparently, that's not enough evidence for the court to charge because Robert left those items in his car when he jumped a fence at the DWTS studio to get near Shawn. Also, the court concluded there were too many things in the car to actually fit Shawn in it.
Seriously?
E! News reports that of the charges Robert does face, he could get up to five years and four months in state prison.
