Brit's Pal Grilled Like a Cheeseburger

Sources tell TMZ K-Daddy's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, was all over Sam Lutfi, Brit's close friend, like white on rice during his deposition today.Britney & Sam
We're told the depo, which ended just before 6:00 PM, covered a wide range of issues. Sources say Kaplan asked about the meds Brit takes, where she goes, what she does at home, what she drinks, and on and on.

Kaplan also asked Lutfi about his relationship with the photo agency X17 and specifically whether he and Brit have a financial deal where they help X17 get pics of Brit and in return get moolah. X17 has denied there's any deal.

We're told Kaplan asked Lutfi about his income and where he gets it, how he supports himself, etc. We're also told Kaplan asked him about six lawsuits in which he was reportedly sued. We're told Lutfi answered that most of those suits were against his father.

16. Would love to see that lawyer Kaplan grilled in a depo. Lawyers are so smug until it's their turn in the hot seat. That Kaplan lawyer seems really sleazy.

18.

I wonder how TMZ knew what questions were asked, and in one case, what Sam responded. Do they have Kaplan’s office bugged?

20. 11. No doubt in my mind Sam and Adnan can and will be bought by the other team to defame Britney...only a matter of time.

What in the world could Sam and Adnan add to 'defame' Britney that she hasn't already done for the world to see?

26. TZM had no reports of the tv interview with Adnan? He says she is a normal person, wakes up early, eats normal food and just needs some support?

Where was he over the weekend? Do we know for sure? Doing an interview maybe? A no pay interview?

He says she dont know about it and hopes they will still be togather after it and poof, everything is fine?

Set up between him and Brit and who else, could that be a possibility?

I am for Brit but it sure seemed fishy - almost fake to me.

More to come out from the depo's at a later date I would bet.

Kevin has every right in the world to know what kind of people are around his children.

If Sam can't explain how he supports himself, than it becomes suspect.

If Britney pays him, what is he doing for her in return?

28. I do have to say that I find it very interesting that all the other sites are reporting about him going to the deposition today EXCEPT X17. I wonder why?!

29. Actually, Kaplan seams like a pretty damb good lawyer to have on your side. No one wants a nice lawyer, you want a shark. he is tenatious and doesn't let Britney get away with anything. Deposistions of witnesses happen all the time, and this is a pretty damb nasty custody battle. Not to mention, if this guy were hanging around my children I would want to know details.

Ps. I thinkg Sleazy is a given when you talk about lawyers

30. I don't know why anyone would think Sam Luffti or Adnan would do the deposition and not lie under oath. It's pretty obvious they are both very shady characters who are only after what they can get from Britney. Sam isn't going to say anything bad about her even under oath. He'll lie lie lie to keep his money train going.
