Lawyer: Britney Spears not fit to stand trial
1/6/2008 10:53

Britney Spears is not yet fit to stand trial 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.
