After 13 years, Britney Spears is officially free of her conservatorship, a California judge ruled Friday. "The court finds and determines that the conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Spears is no longer required,” ruled Judge Brenda Penny. "The conservatorship of the person and estate of Britney Jean Sears is hereby terminated.” The news coming out of the courtroom after a hearing lasting no more than 40 minutes, sent a crowd of Spears fans in the street outside into raucous shouts and screams. Britney Spears was not on the call listening to the hearing. But her father, Jamie Spears, was and so was her mother, Lynne Spears. Only lawyers in the case spoke. Jodi Montgomery, her former conservator of the person, and John Zabel, the new temporary conservator of her finances, also dialed in. Britney's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, was in court. “Ms Spears...obviously fully maintains the position that it is time after more than a decade for the conservatorship to be terminated entirely,” he told the judge. "The record is clear...that the time has come today to end the conservatorship.” #britneyspears
