LAPD Now Confirms Britney Investigation

Britney SpearsThe LAPD is finally commenting on the investigation first reported by TMZ earlier this month.

As we said, Sam Lutfi is under investigation by the Robbery Homicide division of LAPD for allegedly drugging Brit. LAPD officials first said there was no such investigation. Now, Captain Kyle Jackson of Robbery Homicide has issued the following statement:

"The issues regarding Britney Spears are being considered by the department to determine if laws have been violated. Particular suspects have not yet been fully identified nor has a formal investigation into open charges officially commenced. At this time we don't know whether or not a formal investigation will be initiated."

Translation -- They're lookin' at Sam.

226. Diane T - Congrats on winning your case as a non-lawyer! Appeals are tough to win, even for us. :-)

As far as what Eardley might try, I have no idea. Clearly he has no legal standing in federal court, and would get the same treatment in Probate Court (a la Streisand). I heard some rumbles about a RICO wire fraud type of filing against Jaime Spears. That wouldn't give Eardley standing, but maybe he's hoping for a criminal investigation or something to force a removal of Mr. Spears. In the end, even that wouldn't dismantle the conservatorship. Mr. Spears is a CO-conservator, so the court has plenty of oversight into exactly what happens with the estate. Further, the court will have evidence presented at the next hearing as to what progress Britney has been making under the current arrangements. That, and whatever the reports state that her current capacity is, will dictate what comes next. I think it is also California law that Britney has to be present next time (if it is indeed a hearing for a permanent conservatorship), unless she meets specific criteria.

Bride of Frankenstein role.

228. I think he did it as a way to control Britney. She was his meal ticket and now everything he has done is coming back to bite him on the ass.

229.
Prudence Juris,

The RICO stuff sounds unbelievable to me. Jamie Spears seems to be a salt-of-the-earth kind of guy. The "problem" is truly Britney Spears. There are no laws against being immature and poorly educated in a academic kind of way. I truly realize that the court has information that the public has no knowledge of ... or right to, about her.

I wish that the community of lawyers would censor Mr. Eardley in some way.

I realize that it is late for you, so goodnight Prudence Juris.

230. As usual, the chimpanzees who write these TMZ articles got it wrong. Read the statement again, TMZ brainiacs. The police department spokesman clearly says that they have no idea if there will be a formal investigation. Then, the idiot TMZ writer puts a "translation - my point, even though it was directly contradicted by the offiicial statement" sentence. I swear, TMZ hires 8th graders to write these articles...

231. Every other gossip site is reporting that SLUTney may be pregnant. From idontlikeyouinthatway.com, via Star magazine:

"The day has finally come. Britney Spears' symbiotic relationship with the paparazzi has finally manifested itself. Adnan Ghalib, Britney's paparazzo boyfriend, is telling anyone who will listen that Britney is pregnant with his baby. Star Magazine says:

"Only weeks after Britney Spears drove to Rosarita Beach, Mexico to exchange marriage vows with Adnan Ghalib, the paparazzo is bragging to friends that she is going to have his baby, Star has learned exclusively..."Britney is Adnan's dream come true. He knows that if he has a child with Brit, he'll be made for life," one friend of Adnan's tells Star. But while Adnan, 35, may be happy, Britney's family is not. Dad Jamie has stabilized her life and the last thing he and her mom Lynne wants is another grandchild. "Her parents know she can't handle more children," says a Spears family source."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just think if she is. That means Lynne spears 1st daughter has become a leg spread slut & snatch flashing exhibitionist, has gone insane & is pregnant outside of legal marriage with someone who's trying to use her to make money. Her 2nd daughter has gotten pregnant outside of marriage, WHILE UNDERAGE, and may have gotten pregnant from her middle aged manager, who apparently is threatening to sue her so he can make money off of her & the baby. Sure makes you wish Lynne hadn't stopped writing that faith based book on "how to properly raise kids in today's world".

232. Does anyone really believe the LAPD is going to investigate? I don’t the LAPD is a joke! I’m sure someone will just pay them off to make it go away if they are planning to do something about Sam.

234. What a truly sleazy headline, "LAPD Now Confirms Britney Investigation." The casual reader might conclude that it is Britney Spears who is under investigation for something or other. If u were a newspaper or magazine I'd say u were a rag. Since your online, human garbage will have to do.

236. Brit is in the best hands possible. Her family will look out for what is best for her. If anyone thinks otherwise, you are crazy. They love her and her kids. She is very lucky to have them finally back in her life so she can get the Hollywood moochers out of her life. It's discusting what people have done to her and assisted in her self distruction. She needs to move out of that town like Demi and Bruce did.

239. May Sam and Britney BOTH burn in Hell for being a burden to society.

240. LAPD is not only investigating Osama Lufti for drugging Brit but they are also working with the FBI.


Osama Lufti might be connected to sponsers from overseas money (ie. Middle Eastern terrorists).
