Judge puts the brakes on Spears' traffic case
LOS ANGELES (AP) -February 20, 2008 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.
