Witnesses Take Stand in Brit Custody Hearing

Brit's still a no-show, but today's custody hearing is continuing as scheduled, having just broken for lunch.
Kevin Federline
A group of LAPD officers, firefighters and paramedics who were on scene at Brit's Ranchita Popwreck breakdown on the January 4 are expected to testify today. A male LAPD officer, who was one of the first responders to Brit's house that night, just finished testifying.

K-Fed and attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan are in the building, Britney hasn't even left her house. Today's hearing is considered Britney's last chance to get any custody back -- if she doesn't show, it could be over for her visitation until at least April.

61. If Kevin isn't in it for the money then why is he receiving $15,000 a month for child support. I would act like a great dad to if I was going to be able to receive more money and not have to work. He needs to get a job and Britney needs to get some help for herself and fight for her kids.

62. We all knew she wasn't going to show. As much as everyone would love to see her make some kind of effort, she has proved time and time again that she could care less about her kids. She has her head so far up her own a** that logic won't be a reality for a long time so the judge should just award final custody to Kevin with no visitation for Britany for at least 6 months. I am sick of hearing about her. She is an embarassment for America.

63. Britney needs serious help and until she gets it, no way should the boys be around her in any manner. She is the modern version of Frances Farmer.... could have been created from the same script. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Farmer

64. Brit has never wanted those kids but the judge just kept giving them back to her. I don't think she can say it any more clearly. She can go to Mexico, car shopping, partying, etc. but she can't seem to make it to court to get to see her kids. Unreal. She needs to be committed and have the key thrown away. K-Fed has proved me wrong. He is actually the good father that Shar Jackson always claimed he was. He is their only chance at any normalcy in their lives. Poor, poor babies.

65. I've say it before, if she show she'll be asked to testify as to her behavior on Jan.3 and all past events which will place her in between a rock and a hard place as she trys to rationally her decesions. In any case she's sure not to get any kind of visitation rights. God save these boys from this monster.

66. Her last chance, eh TMZ? What BS. They want everyone to get amped up about this day when it isn't even her last chance. how can it be her last chance if she has another court date set for April?

And, she knows it.

68. IS THE JUDGE IN THIS CASE REALLY SO PLIABLE AS TO ACCEPT EVERYTHING K-FED SAYS? DOES BRITNEY NOT HAVE THE FINGER TO DIAL AND THE MONEY TO PAY A TEAM OF LAWYERS TO GO INTO THAT DEPOSITION WITH HER?

i'VE NEVER HEARD OF HER BEATING HER CHILDREN, PUBLICLY SPANING THEM, ABUSING THEM.

I WONDER WHO PAYS THE BILLS OVER AT K-FEDS? MY GUESS IS BRITNEY PAYS FOR EVERYTHING.

SHE SHOULD HIRE PAUL MCCARTNEY'S LAWYER..

69. The sadiest part of this whole story is one day her boys are going to be able to read this stuff. They are going to know that their mother didn't care enough about them to SHOW UP FOR COURT. This is so pathetic and it breaks my heart!! The most hurtfull thing in the world is to figure out a parent doesn't care. This coming from a girl that one day realized that herself.

70. Doesnt anyone have compassion for someone who is obviouslly mentally ill. She needs help before she hurts herself. then how will everyone feel for saying such awful things about her.

71. SHE IS NOT A MONSTER... SHE HASN'T KILLED ANYONE.... SHE ISN'T A PEDOPHILE... SHE IS HURTING HERSELF MOSTLY.. NOT ANY OF YOU...

I HOPE SHE DOES GET VISITATION EVENTUALLY.... SHE CAN AWAYS MARRY AGAIN AND HAVE KIDS AGAN..LATER IN LIFE........

72. Britney has wasted enough of the taxpayers money with her exploits. I can understand mental problems as I have manic depression, but good Lord, get some help and get on with your life. I hope K-Fed gets the kids, case closed and let the courts go back to the real cases. Enough is enough already.

73. would a legal eagle please, please explain to me how she gets away with this? I need to know because if this is a little known technicality, let's out it. Legal books should have been rewritten to reflect the "Spears" defense, so please, someone with the legal insight into this madness , help me out or is this just a cali thing?

74.

Britney is probably afraid if she shows up that they are going to use a butterfly net and slap another 5150 on her.

She seems to have backed everyone into a corner....including herself.

It would only be redundant to say how badly she needs professional help, but that's about all there is to say at this point.

75. I`m wondering if Britney - for some reason - is REFUSING to play the game (or what she perceives as a game) by the rules. I mean common` - she has picked up a MUSLIM pap (!) as her new love interest - in todays America!!! OMG can a star like her break any the rules any more? She is rubbing the *rules* in our faces. My bet is that deep down she is PISSED and in the end Britney will get the last laugh - she is too smart - as there is a strategy to her game. And she is not mentally ill, either. Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
