Lawyer: Spears "Not Yet Fit" For Court

(AP)  Britney Spears is not yet fit to participate in court proceedings in her conservatorship case, her lawyer has told a Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner.

Samuel Ingham, Spears' court-appointed attorney, and attorneys for the pop star's father and conservator, James Spears, spent 90 minutes in Commissioner Reva Goetz' chambers Thursday.

Ingham told the court afterward that Spears' medical condition is "fluid" because her treatment is changing.

Spears' probate case is scheduled to go to trial July 31, but Ingham said it could be "harmful" for her to participate. Goetz agreed and said Spears' diagnosis is not complete.

The 26-year-old singer and her estate have been under the conservatorship of her father for four months.

The Judge needs to ask where Spears is spending her nights during the last 30 days. If night clubing, then she is fit for court and her attorney should be reprimanded.

With all due respect to Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner Reva Goetz! Commissioner? Someone is wasting money and time here! If this wasn''t a court appointed attorney, I''d say you had a contempt charge pending! Court appointed attorney? This little **** can buy any lawyer she wants!

And, commissioner? The people of this country have already lost most of their respect for the judicial system in the late great State of California. This charade isn''t doing anything for that image, sir! Enough with female celebrities acting out at the expense of the law-abiding, tax-paying public!

I guess that means she hasn''t finished humping anything that moves, eating tons of french fries, and taking every prescription known to man.
