KEY POINTS:
Sobbing with joy, Courtney Love thanked a judge after he terminated her probation and dismissed three misdemeanour cases, including two drug-related charges against her.
"Thank you for not taking me into custody," Love told Superior Court Judge Rand Rubin yesterday. "You've been a good, fair judge. Sorry for crying."
Love appeared in court dressed conservatively in a black striped suit and white blouse.
"Early on in this case, Ms Love, I think you came very close to coming into custody," the judge said. "I think you've done very well. You've shown to me you are interested in a much less destructive lifestyle."
