Britney Spears has asked to speak to the court to discuss the administration that has controlled her life and finances for 13 years, her lawyer said on Tuesday, and the judge scheduled a June hearing.
Spears' lawyer, Samuel Ingham III, said in a Los Angeles High Court hearing that he had asked to speak to the court soon, and he agreed with Judge Brenda Penny on June 23. He did not say what he would like to say directly.
It would be the first known time in more than two years that the 39-year-old star has spoken in court. At last, on May 10, 2019, the court was closed. Nothing he said was public.
The judge could also close the June trial in the media and the public. But Spears, through Ingham, has been demanding greater transparency in court proceedings and in law enforcement documents.
Mkhonto did not take part in Tuesday's hearing, and is seldom present.
As in all Spears hearing, about 50 fans from an organization called #FreeBritney protested outside the city court.
On Tuesday, they were carrying signs that read "CONSERVATORSHIP IS SLAVERY" and "THIS IS THE ARMY."
One woman, wearing a #FreeBritney T-shirt, had her head shaved during a show off with Spars, who shook her head just before the organization was formed in 2008.
US Spears has told himself in court papers and on social media that he is accepting his support and considering his circumstances from the fans.
In Ingham, he has been urging the court to use his power to control his health and finances. But he has yet to ask the court to revoke the authorization.
