Britney Spears deemed unfit to testify
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 23 April 2009
She may be fit to record music and then perform it on stage, but Britney Spears is not fit to stand up and say stuff. So says LA Superior Court Judge Akiva Bobb.
As previously reported, Spears’ father and conservator Jamie is currently seeking to extend restraining orders against his daughter’s ex-manager Sam Lutfi, ex-lawyer Jon Eardley, and ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib. Lutfi and Eardley are contesting this, and the latter filed papers last month demanding that the singer testify in court at his upcoming court hearing.
He argued that if she’s well enough to stand up in concert venues, she’s well enough to stand up in court, but his request was denied, with the court’s findings stating: “There was a finding of a judge of the Superior Court that she lacks the capacity to testify”.
As previously reported, Ghalib has already been served with a three year restraining order. Not only that, he stands accused of running down the man who served him the papers with his car.
