Celebrity Justice
Britney Free -- How It Went Down

Britney SpearsTMZ has learned UCLA doctors determined Britney did not pose the legal danger to herself or to others, such that they could continue to hold her against her will.

As a result, she was released today and we're told she's already back home.

The conservatorship is still in place. Sources connected with the case say they anticipated that UCLA would probably release her before the 14-day extension because she became cooperative and relatively stable.

We're told the goal with Brit's mom and dad was to establish the conservatorship while she was hospitalized so she would return home to a controlled environment rather than the chaos that consumed her life.

17. I hope her mom can stay with her for awhile and they can limit the paparazzi harrassing her! She needs some time to rest and to be supervised by someone who is trustworthy.

18. Not really sure how they were ever able to hold her anyway. Her behavior may have been erratic, but so is half of Hollywood's. Seems more like an asset conservation strategy by those who "care" about her.
