Britney Spears Will Not Sit for Deposition in Ongoing Legal Battle With Father Jamie Spears, Judge Rules
Britney Spears' favor on Wednesday, saying that the singer will not have to sit for a deposition in the ongoing legal battle with her father.Britney's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, argued that she feels traumatized by her experience under Jamie Spears' long-running conservatorship and that exposing her to invasive questioning via a deposition would further re-traumatize her. He asked the court, «What would a decent father do?» Jamie's lawyer, Alex Weingarten, called the plea «theatrics» and «attacks,» saying that Jamie cared for his daughter «beautifully.» He said Jamie deserved a chance to question Britney under oath about her public allegations against him. Judge Brenda Penny ultimately decided that any information Jamie needs to defend himself against allegations of conservatorship abuse could be obtained from other sources, including documents and other witnesses.
