“Her capacity is certainly different today than it was in 2008, and Conservatee [Britney] should no longer be held to the 2008 standard, whereby she was found to ‘not have the capacity to retain counsel,'” reads Lynne’s petition. “It is self-evident that before the Court addresses, for example, the termination of the conservatorship, Conservatee must be allowed to consult with counsel of her choosing.
The petition also lists some of the many accomplishments Britney has made during her time under the restraints of the conservatorship, including that she has “had to perform in front of millions of people, has had to manage hundreds of performances, has had to use her artistic and creative talents to prepare for shows by choreographing each and every move for and interacting with many co-performers, and has had to rehearse and perform for many thousands of hours over the years.
Lynne’s lawyers also listed a slew of other requests that Britney herself had made during her testimony, including the ability to ride in her boyfriend, Sam Asghari’s, car; that she receive private therapy once per week at her home to avoid the scrutiny of the public and paparazzi; that she be able to see her friends and perhaps most poignantly, that she can have her, get married, and have a baby, all of which she expressed she hasn’t been allowed to do.
Of course, while fans still want the court to listen to Britney’s wishes by dissolving the conservatorship altogether, it’s worth noting that being able to choose her own legal representation is a major step towards that happening, and will hopefully afford her the protection she needs to move forward freely.
Free Britney!!!
