in this case, she's alleged this court-appointed lawyer, sam ingham, didn't even apprise her of her omgzsut of this situation. we, in our investigation, uncovered various court records in which this lawyer that was appointed by the court, was chummy with the judge and seems to joke about, you know, withholding pieces of information from her. not telling her she could get married if she wanted to was one sort of punch line in one courtroom conversation. so, understandably, people are now sitting up and taking notice. that court-appointed lawyer did resign. and as you point out, she is now picking her own counsel. a former-federal prosecutor, matthew rosengard. >> i mean, clearly, conservatorships are designed for those who can't take care of themselves. you know, obviously, you are not a medical professional. but in covering this case, speaking to those around britney spears, does it seem like she needed someone to control her life, at the beginning of this? i mean, obviously, you know, there was very public moments. but was it -- did it make sense, in the beginning? and -- and then, make

as soon as we really think we've written about how her court-appointed attorney sam ingham whom she diddoesn't seem like he was representing her and her best interests from what she said. and now all of a sudden she has this new lawyer. you know, she wants to end it. we assume very soon he'll file a petition to end this. she really wants to do it without a psychiatric evaluation. and she gave reasons today. she spoke in court and said i was evaluated back in the circus tour in 2009 and again and again and every time they told me i could get out of this. so she feels like they're using it as an excuse to keep her in in a way that she doesn't think is right. and so you know, we could see that. we could see them -- you know, we could see her father stepping down. we could see a lot. but i think the number one things that she talked about was i want this to end and i want my father out and investigated. the new lawyer, he's very high powered. he's represented sean penn, steven spielberg. he has a ton of people working with him. so we'll see what happens. >> we'll see what happens with that,
