The implication of your post is that she just lied to a judge about this.
I didn't say that at all. She's under a conservatorship so she may have difficulty understanding or remembering details like this. She's telling her truth, and good for her. We literally have no idea what her capacity level is because the people who drop screenshots of documents or write about court documents don't actually show you or tell you about the documents that would give you that information.
Free Britney has been compiling all documents and sources of information regarding this for years now. There's a thread on Twitter detailing the conservatorship from the very beginning, with court documents and journalistic reports to back it up:
As well as a timeline of events starting all the way back in 2006:
This is conspiracy theory, almost Q level bullshit. There's a reason this person is making a thread on Twitter and Google docs rather than anyplace serious. Like, these sources referred to are cropped, incomplete court documents that refer to other documents, notepad documents, and "media reports." Common dude.
What about the fact that the lawyer was appointed by her family, who all benefit to a grotesque degree by her remaining in the conservatorship? What other reason would a lawyer have for not informing his client about her rights, refusing to go forward with a termination application, and telling a judge that they'd rather sub out then help the client with their application, except for the fact that he continues to profit from the situation? Does this feel like a conflict of interest and that the lawyer may very well not have his client's interests at heart?
I keep hearing that the lawyer was appointed by the family, and that's not really how this works. I don't know what happened here exactly because different counties can handle these things differently and the reporting on this is extremely vague, but usually a lawyer is appointed and selected by the court. There are documents the family can file to request appointment of a lawyer, the initial petition packet is probably one of these for LA County, but that does not necessarily mean they had any say in selecting him. It can also get complicated if her lawyer is appointed as a guardian ad litem, but I'm not even going to get into that. It feels like there's a misunderstanding here but I can't say for sure. But overall it seems it would be even more profitable to litigate for termination the conservatorship, since he could request fees for litigation on top of what he already does. Sure it's possible that there's a conflict issue here given how unique this case is and the money involved, but I don't think it's very likely based on what I've see. termination petition needs to get filed now though.
I'd love to see a documentary or a analysis of this case from somebody who actually has information and knows what they're talking about, but so far I've not seen anything of the sort.
It definitely sounds like Britney's case is one of those abuse cases of conservatorship and changes need to be made but at the same time my wife deals with surgeries on a lot of patients that are under these. She says you'll talk to them and think this person is a normal as could be only to find out the surgery is to remove knives that the person has ingested and that it's the 6th time they've been there
the problem with Britney's case even if she actually needs a conservatorship is forcing her to perform and dictating her career. That seems way out of line
Good post. Most people are totally unaware of how weird things can get when capacity is a problem. Most people's understanding is simply a grandparent going through dementia, but it's so much deeper, weirder, and even sadder than that. And the issue of having her perform absolutely needs to be looked into deeper at the very least.
