Judge Postpones Spears' Traffic Case
LOS ANGELES (AP) ―
A judge put the brakes on Britney Spears' driving-without-a-license
case Wednesday after her lawyers said they don't believe the troubled
pop star is capable of resolving the matter.
Superior Court Judge T.K. Herman continued the misdemeanor case
until March 20 after lawyer J. Michael Flanagan said Spears'
conservatorship attorneys "do not think she is qualified or capable of
entering into a binding agreement" at this time.
The attorneys also don't believe Spears, 26, is capable of giving a deposition or signed declaration, Flanagan said.
Earlier this month, a judge placed Spears under the conservatorship
of her father and an attorney after more than a year of increasingly
bizarre behavior by the singer.
Spears hit a parked car on Aug. 6, 2007, and left without notifying
the owner. She was originally cited for hit and run and driving without
a license, but the hit-and-run charge was dropped.
