0:44

Speaker 3: She is a performer.
0:50
Speaker 1: Britney Spears busts out of rehab after a wet, reckless
0:55
Speaker 1: please straight out to Sierra Fox, joining US entertainment host
0:58
Speaker 1: media personality for TV anchor five Fox five in dccre
1:03
Speaker 1: what happened?
1:04
Speaker 4: It?
1:05
Speaker 1: Rehab's already over.
1:07
Speaker 5: I know it went by quick, just three weeks, Nancy.
1:10
Speaker 5: But Britney Spears was arrested back on Wednesday, March fourth,
1:12
Speaker 5: in Ventura, California, after allegedly driving erradically in her black
1:17
Speaker 5: BMW on US one oh one, and this was reportedly
1:20
Speaker 5: her first offense. She's never had a DUI before. Thankfully,
1:24
Speaker 5: no one got hurt, there's no crash or injury involved.
1:27
Speaker 5: And now she's been sentenced to twelve months summary probation,
1:31
Speaker 5: has to pay a five hundred and seventy one dollars fine,
1:33
Speaker 5: has to participate in a three month DUI program, totaling
1:37
Speaker 5: thirty hours of class time once a week. She now
1:40
Speaker 5: has to visit with the psychologist twice a month, visits
1:43
Speaker 5: from a psychiatrist, and her attorney says she's taking responsibility
1:47
Speaker 5: and she's thankful for the outpour of support she's received.
1:50
Speaker 5: Serut put out a statement saying this is her first stop.
1:55
Speaker 1: Britney Spears taking responsibilities here of Fox, whoa, whoa, whoa?
2:00
Speaker 1: She was a no show in court? Was she in court?
2:03
Speaker 1: Sierra Fox?
2:05
Speaker 5: She was not in court, Nancy No pause, pause pause.
2:10
Speaker 1: Can I see the working on the Sun's leg video?
2:13
Speaker 1: That's what I need to see right now, just to
2:15
Speaker 1: make sure it's real. Did this happen? Oh okay, yeah
2:20
Speaker 1: it is happening.
2:22
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:22
Speaker 5: Not the best look for Brittany right now.
2:25
Speaker 1: To Chroy s Layton joining US veteran trial lawyer out
2:28
Speaker 1: of this jurisdiction in LA. He is also candidate for
2:32
Speaker 1: LA Superior Court Judge Choice Layton. Why wasn't she in court?
2:39
Speaker 2: She's not required in a misdemeanor case. In the state
2:42
Speaker 2: of California, an attorney can appear on behalf of their
2:45
Speaker 2: client as long as they have permission from their client
2:48
Speaker 2: under Penal Code Section nine seven seven. So it's a
2:52
Speaker 2: standard operating procedure in courts every day throughout the state
2:56
Speaker 2: of California. Brittany did nothing wrong or nothing in usual
3:00
Speaker 2: by having her attorney appear on her behalf as long
3:04
Speaker 2: as he's got authorizations exact.
3:06
Speaker 1: Please look at your monitor. She just pulled her bikini
3:12
Speaker 1: bottom down, so her pubic here, if it was there,
3:16
Speaker 1: would have been visible.
3:18
Speaker 2: That has nothing to do with this.
3:20
Speaker 1: She's nothing wrong. Look, I'm not the church lady, but
3:22
Speaker 1: that ain't the way to start off after rehab. You
3:25
Speaker 1: know what, Hold on, I appreciate everything you're saying, but
3:27
Speaker 1: at least show up to court before I go to
3:30
Speaker 1: max Minor Troy Slaton. What is a wet reckless plea?
3:35
Speaker 2: It's something in between a dry reckless and a dui.
3:40
Speaker 2: It has all the hallmarks of a dui. You still
3:43
Speaker 2: have to go to an alcohol and drug education class.
3:48
Speaker 2: It's still priorable as a DUI, which means if she
3:50
Speaker 2: gets another DUI within the next ten years, it counts,
3:55
Speaker 2: it would count to enhance the second offense. There's still
4:00
Speaker 2: a fine, there's still the driving restrictions from when she
4:03
Speaker 2: was arrested. So it just kind of makes the person
4:06
Speaker 2: feel better and gives them a little bit of a carrot.
4:09
Speaker 2: It's reserved for cases where there's very low levels of
4:13
Speaker 2: alcohol and there was no accident, that there was no
4:17
Speaker 2: really serious reckless driving.
4:20
Speaker 1: Why did you say accident when you make the decision
4:24
Speaker 1: to drink and then you get in a car. Look,
4:27
Speaker 1: I have rooted for Britney from day one. I was
4:30
Speaker 1: out there with Free Britney. I got a lot of
4:32
Speaker 1: hate for that. But where it all stops for me,
4:36
Speaker 1: it's when she finally gets an HB A vitual violator.
4:40
Speaker 1: An HV is the worst and you get hard jail
4:44
Speaker 1: time for that. Why do you get an empty when
4:46
Speaker 1: you finally MOUs somebody down?
4:49
Speaker 2: What It's not illegal to drink and drive. It's not
4:53
Speaker 2: illegal to drink and drive. It's illegal to be above
4:57
Speaker 2: a point zero eight. It's illegal to be so ampas
5:00
Speaker 2: it may not.
5:00
Speaker 1: Be illegal if you're under point zero eight. You know what,
5:04
Speaker 1: you tell that to the crash victim, And it is
5:08
Speaker 1: not an accident. When you choose to drink and get
5:12
Speaker 1: behind the wheel, that is a decision. And I know
5:15
Speaker 1: you heard me straight out to Max Minor joining US
5:18
Speaker 1: President CEO Executive Treatment Solutions, Max. Three weeks, really, and
5:27
Speaker 1: she's already working on her son's leg. I'm not the
5:29
Speaker 1: church lady. I don't care who she works on, but
5:33
Speaker 1: how can three weeks of rehab do anything?
5:39
Speaker 3: Well? I mean from my perspective in terms of what
5:41
Speaker 3: I do every day, the outcome couldn't have been more
5:43
Speaker 3: perfect for her. However, it's not about you know what,
5:48
Speaker 3: It's about what changed when she left Nancy, and quite frankly,
5:52
Speaker 3: based upon what we're seeing, doesn't seem like a lot has.
5:55
Speaker 3: And conversely, don't get me wrong, people can spend six
5:58
Speaker 3: months in a treatment center and unless you buy into
6:01
Speaker 3: the process, you're never going to affect any change. But
6:04
Speaker 3: the reality is is that two and a half weeks
6:08
Speaker 3: that's just getting started. Let's be honest with each other.
6:10
Speaker 3: She's thirty sixty ninety days. People like to think that
6:13
Speaker 3: there's these timelines, but based upon what we're seeing, it
6:18
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like she's affected any change.
6:20
Speaker 6: To me, How is Britney Spears doing right now?
6:22
Speaker 4: She's doing well, She's doing great. She's very positive. She's
6:26
Speaker 4: obviously pleased with the result here, the dismissal of the dui,
6:31
Speaker 4: the reduction to a reckless thriving. It's twelve months of probation.
6:36
Speaker 4: She's going to do well and we all root for Brittany.
6:39
Speaker 1: There were all the reports that she had left rehab early.
6:42
Speaker 7: Is that accurate?
6:43
Speaker 4: Absolutely? Finn.
6:43
Speaker 1: Is she happy with the plea that was taken inside court?
6:47
Speaker 4: I don't think anybody's happy about pleading guilty to anything,
6:49
Speaker 4: but under the circumstances and to get this behind her,
6:52
Speaker 4: I think everybody is pleased with the result. We appreciate
6:56
Speaker 4: the court, We appreciate the thoughtful disposition, we appreciate the
7:00
Speaker 4: trick attorney recognizing the positive steps that Brittany has taken
7:04
Speaker 4: to help herself, and you know, we expect that she'll
7:07
Speaker 4: continue to do so.
7:08
Speaker 5: M M.
7:10
Speaker 1: That is Michael Goldstein. That's Britney Spears's lawyer speaking to
7:15
Speaker 1: Entertainment tonight to Dave mac joining me, Crime Stories investigative reporter.
7:19
Speaker 1: I never would have appreciated for a defense attorney to say,
7:24
Speaker 1: we really appreciate everything you did. That means they liked it.
7:29
Speaker 1: That means they got what they wanted, which is probably
7:31
Speaker 1: not in the best interest of the people, the state,
7:34
Speaker 1: the innocent people out there driving their children home from
7:38
Speaker 1: soccer practice or to piano classes, and here comes Brittany
7:41
Speaker 1: and a big hanking Hummer point zero six. What happened
7:47
Speaker 1: to the drugs, Dave mac the drugs that were in
7:49
Speaker 1: her car.
7:50
Speaker 6: You know, Nancy, that was not part of this plead
7:54
Speaker 6: deal at all, not mentioned, just tossed away. We don't
8:00
Speaker 6: know exactly what they found, and they did the well,
8:04
Speaker 6: every drugs were found were not mentioned as part of
8:06
Speaker 6: her sentencing in court.
8:09
Speaker 1: Back to Sierra Fox joining US entertainment host former anchor
8:12
Speaker 1: Fox five, Sierra, thank you for being with us tonight.
8:15
Speaker 1: Can we go through the plea and what happened in
8:18
Speaker 1: court from beginning to end? Tell me?
8:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, Brittany was sentenced, as we mentioned, to twelve
8:27
Speaker 5: month summary probation. She has to pay up five hundred
8:30
Speaker 5: and seventy one dollars fine, She has to participate in
8:32
Speaker 5: a three month UI program totally thirty hours of class time,
8:36
Speaker 5: and then once a week now she has to visit
8:38
Speaker 5: with a psychologist, and twice a month she will visit
8:41
Speaker 5: with a psychiatrist and her manager put Alistamen saying, this
8:43
Speaker 5: is the first stop in a long overdue change that
8:46
Speaker 5: needs to happen in Brittany's life.
8:49
Speaker 1: Two Max Minor, you're stating that you believe, with all
8:53
Speaker 1: of her history, all off her history, reckless driving, seemingly
8:59
Speaker 1: driving under the influence, and more, you believe a thirty
9:04
Speaker 1: day program works because this is the first time I've
9:08
Speaker 1: ever heard that.
9:10
Speaker 3: No, no, I do not, and listen, nobody has a
9:14
Speaker 3: crystal ball. But what I can tell you is that
9:16
Speaker 3: it takes typically at least ninety days to where we
9:21
Speaker 3: can actually see any sort of change take place. But Nancy,
9:24
Speaker 3: you have to remember this is a first time. Do
9:26
Speaker 3: you why her going into residential treatment on her own
9:30
Speaker 3: volition is much more than you know the average person
9:35
Speaker 3: does or is even capable of doing. So they really
9:38
Speaker 3: lean into that. What I'm confused about, and what we
9:42
Speaker 3: see with our clients all the time, is that she
9:44
Speaker 3: decided to leave before court. From my understanding, and that
9:49
Speaker 3: just really kind of tells you exactly where you know
9:53
Speaker 3: what the intentions were. I mean, I'd also like to
9:55
Speaker 3: know what's the continuation plan, what's the after care plan
9:58
Speaker 3: look like for her, because I just don't think that
10:02
Speaker 3: anything is in place, I mean kind of subject to
10:04
Speaker 3: what we've seen with some of these videos, it just
10:06
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like, you know, it just doesn't seem like
10:09
Speaker 3: she's on the on the path to recovery.
10:13
Speaker 1: And again, Max Minor, all I care about is protecting
10:18
Speaker 1: victims from violent crime, and that includes being run down
10:22
Speaker 1: in a crosswalk by drunk driver. I've seen too many
10:26
Speaker 1: mangled up cars. I've seen too many bodies pulled out
10:29
Speaker 1: of cars as a result of drunk driving. I want
10:34
Speaker 1: to circle back with you in a moment, Max, about
10:36
Speaker 1: the fact that her BA blood alcohol was point zero
10:40
Speaker 1: six by the time it was finally drawn at the hospital. Okay,
10:47
Speaker 1: number one, But when you say the continuation plan and
10:52
Speaker 1: what you're seeing reveals to you that nothing has changed. Again, Max,
10:59
Speaker 1: I don't care if she dances around naked on insta
11:04
Speaker 1: I don't care. I think it's a shame that if
11:07
Speaker 1: she's going to dance and use her talent, she's not
11:10
Speaker 1: booked in Vegas making a mint of money because she's
11:13
Speaker 1: spending it like it's water. But that said, you know
11:16
Speaker 1: the old phrase, why buy the cow and you get
11:19
Speaker 1: the milk free. I think she needs to be using
11:24
Speaker 1: her talent to benefit herself and her children, right, But
11:30
Speaker 1: that's just me. I don't care what she does on Insta.
11:33
Speaker 1: I'm not passing a moral judgment on her. I don't
11:36
Speaker 1: want anybody to pass one on me, and I don't
11:38
Speaker 1: want to pass one on her. But I agree with
11:42
Speaker 1: you Max Minor that to hop straight back in to
11:47
Speaker 1: Insta torquing on your kid's leg, it seems like she's
11:52
Speaker 1: right back to what she was doing before. Whatever that
11:56
Speaker 1: may be, nothing has changed. If that, you can probably
12:01
Speaker 1: verbalize it better than me.
12:04
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I again, you know, yes, I agree
12:06
Speaker 3: with you that the I just keep going back to,
12:09
Speaker 3: you know, with our clients, the new gold standard has
12:13
Speaker 3: become a year in treatment that I think what what
12:16
Speaker 3: really hurt her situation is that.
12:19
Speaker 1: Dope Bubba hold on the new gold standard is a
12:23
Speaker 1: year in treatment somewhere like Betty Ford, which is real.
12:30
Speaker 1: It is not like a spa in Puerto Rico. It's real.
12:37
Speaker 1: You get real help. And I've noticed Max Minor, and
12:42
Speaker 1: this is your business president and CEO of Executive Treatment Solutions.
12:47
Speaker 1: It's a pre saw mitigation treatment support service. It helps
12:51
Speaker 1: people in crisis avoid jail time through treatment plans. That's
12:56
Speaker 1: what you do. I've noticed that people voting celebrities that
13:01
Speaker 1: go into Betty Ford come out and they seem to
13:05
Speaker 1: be better. And it's really hard to beat alcohol. It
13:11
Speaker 1: just takes over you. You can't fight it. It's an addiction.
13:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it really is. And what I meant
13:20
Speaker 3: by the gold standard, Nancy, is that typically what we're
13:24
Speaker 3: seeing with the courts in southern California is that they're
13:27
Speaker 3: requiring a year in treatment. Usually I mean with felony,
13:31
Speaker 3: serious felony crimes. And I think what hurt her here
13:34
Speaker 3: is that her an attorney herself, very quickly realized that, hey, listen,
13:39
Speaker 3: this is a first time, do you I everything that
13:41
Speaker 3: Sierra listened off, that's basic, basic stuff that she has
13:45
Speaker 3: to do as a result of her plea of to
13:48
Speaker 3: what reckless. It's basic stuff. Everybody has to do it.
13:50
Speaker 3: It's box standard. What I would have liked to have
13:53
Speaker 3: seen is her attorney, her so called team supporting her
13:58
Speaker 3: leveraged the criminal case a little bit more and say, hey,
14:01
Speaker 3: why don't we at least complete thirty days? You know
14:04
Speaker 3: what I mean? Just there just wasn't very much forethought there,
14:07
Speaker 3: And that's what makes me believe that this isn't for real.
14:11
Speaker 1: You know what Robert Downey did. Robert Downey Jr. And
14:14
Speaker 1: he had a horrible addiction problem and is one of
14:20
Speaker 1: I believe, one of the greatest actors ever that we've seen.
14:25
Speaker 1: And I remember a phrase he stated Max Minor that
14:30
Speaker 1: he was you know, this is theoretically to make a point.
14:36
Speaker 1: He said, he was putting a gun in his mouth
14:40
Speaker 1: and he liked the taste of the metal. In other words,
14:44
Speaker 1: continuing to drink. He was putting the gun in his
14:48
Speaker 1: mouth and he liked the taste of the metal. I
14:52
Speaker 1: never will forget him saying that he was trying so
14:56
Speaker 1: hard to get clean. And he finally went into as
15:01
Speaker 1: I Recall Wavelengths International and he was in that program
15:05
Speaker 1: six months after he got out of jail. And he
15:09
Speaker 1: went on to be a huge success in Iron Man
15:13
Speaker 1: and all of the sequels, have a happy home life, everything,
15:17
Speaker 1: and he is dry. And I use him as an
15:22
Speaker 1: example of what you can do, but it's hard. It's
15:27
Speaker 1: so hard, Max. I've seen so many people. I would
15:31
Speaker 1: recognize them when they came back in the courtroom, and
15:34
Speaker 1: of course I only handled felonies, but by the time
15:37
Speaker 1: I got them, they were habitual violators, or that had
15:40
Speaker 1: a crash, or they had killed somebody. And I don't
15:44
Speaker 1: want that for Britney Spears in thirty days. It's like
15:48
Speaker 1: flicking water at an inferno. It's nothing.
15:53
Speaker 3: Correct. And I think that's been made very clear, right
15:58
Speaker 3: And I think what's also been made very clear is
16:00
Speaker 3: that there's more than just the criminal case. And again,
16:04
Speaker 3: no one has a crystal ball. I'm not a doctor.
16:07
Speaker 3: I can't predict your future. But what I can tell
16:10
Speaker 3: you with one hundred percent certainty is that the more
16:13
Speaker 3: time that you spend any treatment environment, your chance is
16:17
Speaker 3: for success and continued long term. Sobriety exponentially increase. And
16:24
Speaker 3: thirty days that's not that's that's a starting point. That's
16:28
Speaker 3: not the finish line.
16:31
Speaker 1: Hey, Max, let me ask you a question, because I
16:34
Speaker 1: am speaking anecdotically. I'm telling you anecdotes, stories, true things
16:40
Speaker 1: that happened to me when I was prosecuting, and what
16:42
Speaker 1: I saw and what I saw. I was already a
16:45
Speaker 1: teetotaler for health, but what I saw in the courtroom
16:48
Speaker 1: made me a teetotaler for life, for life. No alcohol
16:53
Speaker 1: in the house, nothing, Because I saw so many brilliant
16:57
Speaker 1: people their lives were just ruined. And I remember one
17:03
Speaker 1: one case, I was a pony, as they called it.
17:06
Speaker 1: I had just come to the office and I was
17:08
Speaker 1: studying under a veteran trial lawyer, a great trial lawyer,
17:13
Speaker 1: and he had me take a couple of guilty please.
17:16
Speaker 1: And I was looking at this woman's file. She had
17:18
Speaker 1: been the top of her game, stockbroker, three children, husband,
17:23
Speaker 1: beautiful home, the works, everything dream come true, right, Okay,
17:27
Speaker 1: Her husband left her, she lost custody of her children.
17:30
Speaker 1: I think you have to be bonded to be a
17:33
Speaker 1: stockbroker in certain situations to trade stocks and bonds. She
17:37
Speaker 1: lost that because of drinking. She lost everything. Nobody was
17:42
Speaker 1: in court when she took her guilty plea. She came,
17:45
Speaker 1: you know, hobbling in. She was triple shackled, which of
17:48
Speaker 1: course did not need to be done. I ordered her
17:50
Speaker 1: legs to be unshackled. She was shackled at the hands,
17:53
Speaker 1: to the waist, to the foot, and she came in
17:57
Speaker 1: with those chains jingling. I'm like, I can't believe this
18:01
Speaker 1: beautiful woman has lost everything and her husband had written
18:06
Speaker 1: all these letters. He's never going back, she's never getting
18:08
Speaker 1: custody again. It's all gone. And I decided to be
18:13
Speaker 1: teetotal that day and never even been tempted. So what
18:18
Speaker 1: I'm saying is you it can ruin your life. Explain
18:23
Speaker 1: what you do, Max.
18:27
Speaker 3: Well, I can definitely second that it can ruin your life.
18:30
Speaker 3: You know, Nancy, as you know my personal story. So
18:33
Speaker 3: you know what we do is we take, we help.
18:35
Speaker 1: Everybody else doesn't know your personal story tell it. So
18:40
Speaker 1: you know my name is Max Minor and I'm an alcoholic.
18:43
Speaker 1: Isn't that how it starts?
18:45
Speaker 3: Correct? Correct? Correct, that's right. My name is Max Myer.
18:48
Speaker 3: I'm an alcoholic, and you know I nearly lost everything
18:52
Speaker 3: as a result of it. I spent nine years in
18:55
Speaker 3: active addiction and to your point, right, found myself in
19:01
Speaker 3: the most demoralizing situations that I never thought were possible.
19:05
Speaker 3: I was doing things you know that I told myself
19:08
Speaker 3: that I would never do. And it was all a
19:10
Speaker 3: result of my untreated substance abuse. And you know, an
19:14
Speaker 3: alcohol issue and so what we do, Nancy at Executive
19:17
Speaker 3: Truman Solutions is we help people navigate those exact same
19:22
Speaker 3: struggles that nearly killed me, and we help them navigate
19:27
Speaker 3: the criminal justice system. We leverage their criminal case in
19:30
Speaker 3: a way that motivates them as that little extra bit
19:34
Speaker 3: of motivation to help keep them on the straight and narrow,
19:39
Speaker 3: get through the criminal case and come out the other
19:41
Speaker 3: side stronger.
19:42
Speaker 1: Well, Max, you apparently didn't lose everything because I see
19:45
Speaker 1: a child's drawing behind you and a friend photograph of
19:49
Speaker 1: a female, So there's obviously somebody still in your life
19:53
Speaker 1: that didn't leave you. You didn't lose your family.
19:57
Speaker 3: Need you well the you know. Funny enough, I met
20:01
Speaker 3: my wife a year and a half sober. I now
20:05
Speaker 3: have two little girls, two and three, and it was
20:09
Speaker 3: all you know. That's That's the beautiful thing about it, Nancy,
20:12
Speaker 3: is that you can really rise from the ashes. And
20:18
Speaker 3: I would have never I would not have the girls,
20:20
Speaker 3: I would not have my wife if it wasn't for
20:23
Speaker 3: everything that I had to go through. And the only
20:26
Speaker 3: way that I was going to be at that specific
20:28
Speaker 3: gym that day is if I was at the sober
20:32
Speaker 3: living that I'd spent a year in, you know, the
20:34
Speaker 3: treatment center just down the street. So it's funny how
20:37
Speaker 3: life it has a way of lining things up for you,
20:41
Speaker 3: isn't it.
20:42
Speaker 1: Hi, Max, don't screw that up. Two little girls, a
20:46
Speaker 1: beautiful wife that loves you. Don't mess it up, man.
20:49
Speaker 1: And you know what, You're not the only one. Dave
20:51
Speaker 1: mac my friend, my colleague, who was with me practically
20:56
Speaker 1: every day on the air. Dave Mac is crime Stories,
20:59
Speaker 1: investig a reporter nearly lost it all because of alcohol.
21:03
Speaker 1: And look at him now, Dave Matt explained, do you?
21:08
Speaker 1: And of course we're on the outside looking him. But
21:10
Speaker 1: I've seen enough cases, Dave Matt, I've seen enough heartache
21:14
Speaker 1: to know thirty days for Britney Spears didn't do anything. Dave.
21:20
Speaker 6: It broke my heart seeing her come out of this
21:24
Speaker 6: so called rehab and immediately returned to you know, posting online.
21:29
Speaker 6: Seventeen days for somebody that has an addiction alcohol, drugs
21:34
Speaker 6: is detox. You know, it takes a week to ten days,
21:37
Speaker 6: sometimes longer, just to get your system cleared out. And
21:42
Speaker 6: in the first thirty days, Nancy, there's all this is
21:45
Speaker 6: roller coaster of emotion. You've got the physical stuff, you know,
21:49
Speaker 6: you realize in the first thirty days a lot of
21:51
Speaker 6: people can't sleep because of the physical trauma, the emotional
21:55
Speaker 6: and psychological trauma, all that's going on. Think about that
21:59
Speaker 6: seventeen days, she probably isn't sleeping through the night. And
22:04
Speaker 6: this is the part that hurts is that I know
22:06
Speaker 6: what's possible, you know, I know that she can come
22:08
Speaker 6: out of this and can be an example for the
22:11
Speaker 6: world to look and go, wow, she did it, because
22:13
Speaker 6: it's available if you just will apply yourself. I went
22:17
Speaker 6: through it. My goodness.
22:18
Speaker 1: It stinks being at the.
22:20
Speaker 6: Very bottom, but you know, when you're so low you
22:23
Speaker 6: can play handball against the curb Nancy. You're looking for
22:26
Speaker 6: a way to survive, and it is not just possible.
22:30
Speaker 3: People are doing it every day.
22:32
Speaker 6: I did it, and I think with all of the
22:36
Speaker 6: spotlights on Brittany, it's got to be tough. But she's
22:40
Speaker 6: got so many people standing around her, handing her a
22:42
Speaker 6: pill or handing her this, or telling she's fine.
22:44
Speaker 3: She's not fine.
22:46
Speaker 6: And I just pray that in this time of I
22:51
Speaker 6: hope reflection, that somebody can get her ear and say, hey, sweetie,
22:55
Speaker 6: let's do this for real, Let's get your life back
22:58
Speaker 6: not the show and tell. Let's get your life back,
23:02
Speaker 6: and that's all. That's my biggest hope and prayer for her.
23:05
Speaker 1: Right now, this is my house.
23:10
Speaker 8: If I want to come in here and give you
23:11
Speaker 8: lotion for your face because it is coarse, and all
23:14
Speaker 8: you tell me no is fine?
23:16
Speaker 1: Is fine? No, it's not fine.
23:18
Speaker 8: You all better start respecting me.
23:21
Speaker 1: Are we clear?
23:23
Speaker 8: Yeah? And when Robin calls and you're all, you're all,
23:26
Speaker 8: even Robin's a fucking kid, she goes, what have you
23:29
Speaker 8: been doing to your kids?
23:30
Speaker 1: You're all?
23:32
Speaker 8: You all need to start treating me like a woman
23:34
Speaker 8: with worth. I am a woman. Okay, be nice to me.
23:39
Speaker 8: Do you understand?
23:41
Speaker 1: Have you lost your mind? Have you lost your mind?
23:45
Speaker 1: I do care, but I'm shocked you are seeing from
23:49
Speaker 1: fetter line for real. That is Brittany do king and
23:53
Speaker 1: out with her children. And when she's saying respect me,
23:56
Speaker 1: respect me, treat me like a woman, because actually I
23:59
Speaker 1: think she has in disrespect and she's been objectified since
24:03
Speaker 1: she was a little girl and worked like a mule
24:05
Speaker 1: for Pete's sake. But my point there is Max Minor,
24:11
Speaker 1: you've had to deal with the families like her boys.
24:14
Speaker 1: I don't know how old they were in that video
24:17
Speaker 1: and she's telling them to respect her, I mean their
24:19
Speaker 1: little children. They're probably going, what is mommy saying? What
24:22
Speaker 1: does that mean? But that said, I understand her anger
24:25
Speaker 1: and frustration. But when you have a family, no, no,
24:31
Speaker 1: they matter first. How many families have been lost and
24:36
Speaker 1: sacrificed to alcohol, max minor people lose it all?
24:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, we do. We have a way of doing that.
24:45
Speaker 3: And the saddest thing is that, you know, when we're
24:47
Speaker 3: in the midst of it, we're unable to see what
24:50
Speaker 3: other people are so clearly able to see, which is
24:53
Speaker 3: us just literally burning down the house with everybody in it.
24:57
Speaker 3: And you know, I deal with families all day long,
25:00
Speaker 3: and quite frankly, the truth is that a lot of
25:02
Speaker 3: the times you have to remember is that, you know,
25:05
Speaker 3: and not for a not for any you know, ballast reason,
25:09
Speaker 3: but the families themselves become very sick in dealing with
25:14
Speaker 3: the individual because they're constantly being manipulated, they're constantly being
25:18
Speaker 3: lied to, they're constantly engaged in this like fight or flight.
25:21
Speaker 3: And what's even more sad is when it's you know, children, right,
25:25
Speaker 3: they don't have a choice. They can't just get up
25:27
Speaker 3: and leave. But we see it all the time where
25:30
Speaker 3: families themselves become very sick as a result of having
25:33
Speaker 3: to deal with the chaos, the day to day chaos
25:36
Speaker 3: of the individual that they love that is just in
25:38
Speaker 3: the midst of either a full blown substance abuse of battle,
25:42
Speaker 3: a psyche you know, or a psychiatric episode. And it's
25:45
Speaker 3: it's really sad to see. It's very sad to see.
25:49
Speaker 1: Guys, take a listen to what we are learning from
25:51
Speaker 1: the Ventura County DA.
25:53
Speaker 9: Missus Spears will have a diminished expectation a privacy in
25:59
Speaker 9: her car as a result of this informal probationary grant.
26:03
Speaker 9: What that means is that if she is stopped by
26:07
Speaker 9: a peace officer, she will have to submit to a
26:11
Speaker 9: test for the presence of alcohol or drugs. If stopped,
26:16
Speaker 9: her vehicle can be searched for the presence of alcohol
26:22
Speaker 9: and drugs, and she cannot drive with any intoxicant in
26:27
Speaker 9: her body. One of the key components of the disposition
26:32
Speaker 9: this morning was to make sure that Miss Spears continued
26:36
Speaker 9: to undergo her mental health and substance abuse treatment regiment.
26:41
Speaker 9: We are wholly in support of her doing so. This
26:46
Speaker 9: will include at least twice a month visits with her
26:51
Speaker 9: psychiatrist and once a week visits and sessions with a psychologist.
26:59
Speaker 1: That's the DA speaking, and that's from our friends at
27:01
Speaker 1: Fox News. Troy Slayton. I'll tell you another concern I have, Guys.
27:04
Speaker 1: Troy is a veteran trial lawyer. He's won a lot
27:07
Speaker 1: of cases, which of course is not the litmus test,
27:09
Speaker 1: but it doesn't hurt anything. He's joining us out of
27:12
Speaker 1: this jurisdiction La County. Troy, this is the thing, all right,
27:18
Speaker 1: when you don't get well, when you're in there for
27:22
Speaker 1: less than thirty days, and you walk out, don't show
27:25
Speaker 1: up at court. I know you don't have a problem
27:27
Speaker 1: with that. I do, and you go right back on
27:30
Speaker 1: Insta living your old life. Your old life is not working.
27:36
Speaker 1: It didn't work. You have to start a new life.
27:40
Speaker 1: You have to start over with things different. And I'm
27:44
Speaker 1: worried about this. The probation can turn into jail time
27:51
Speaker 1: probation today, jail time tomorrow if she is caught drinking.
27:57
Speaker 1: What happens to that probation.
28:01
Speaker 2: Well, if she's caught violating any of the terms of probation,
28:05
Speaker 2: then probation would be revoked. And what people don't understand
28:10
Speaker 2: is what probation means is that we're giving you this
28:15
Speaker 2: opportunity to have the keys to the jailhouse in your hands.
28:19
Speaker 2: Means you're not going to go to the jail up
28:22
Speaker 2: to ninety days that you can serve for a wet,
28:25
Speaker 2: reckless here in California, and instead, if you do a
28:29
Speaker 2: B and C in this case, if she goes to
28:31
Speaker 2: the psychiatrist twice a week, if she goes to her
28:34
Speaker 2: psychologist once a week, if she completes the three month
28:38
Speaker 2: drug and alcohol education program, which is thirty hours, if
28:42
Speaker 2: she does all those things and not drive with any
28:46
Speaker 2: measurable amount of alcohol in her system or drugs, then
28:51
Speaker 2: she'll successfully complete and after a year she'll be off probation,
28:56
Speaker 2: and then all the rules that go back to somebody
28:59
Speaker 2: who's not in probation apply to her, but she still
29:02
Speaker 2: has a prior.
29:03
Speaker 1: So bottom line, when you're on probation and you violate
29:08
Speaker 1: the probation, sometimes even technically, but if you violate that
29:13
Speaker 1: probation such as her drinking or doing drugs.
29:17
Speaker 2: Or not driving class or not or not yet to
29:20
Speaker 2: her drug route to class, or or not going to
29:24
Speaker 2: her psych psychologist twice a week, and or psychologist once
29:29
Speaker 2: a week and the psychiatrist twice a month. If she
29:33
Speaker 2: doesn't do any of those things, then she'll be right
29:37
Speaker 2: back in court and it won't be as nice as
29:39
Speaker 2: it was the other day. And also she'll get alowed
29:44
Speaker 2: to appear.
29:44
Speaker 1: She'll get real troy.
29:46
Speaker 2: And she wouldn't be allowed to appear without her attorney.
29:49
Speaker 2: Her personal presence would be required.
29:54
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be the least of her words
29:55
Speaker 1: that she's got to go to court because her probation
29:58
Speaker 1: will be revoked. In other words, if I sentence you
30:00
Speaker 1: to two years probation, and of course that opens you
30:05
Speaker 1: up to unannounced searches in your home or your car,
30:08
Speaker 1: as he pointed out, and they find a joint, or
30:12
Speaker 1: they find one hit of crack, or they find drug paraphernalia.
30:17
Speaker 1: If they find anything, you're revoked for the period of
30:21
Speaker 1: your probation. You go to jail then for two years
30:24
Speaker 1: for what's left of your probation. So these conditions put
30:29
Speaker 1: on her could trigger a probation revocation. To Sierra Fox,
30:36
Speaker 1: joining US entertainment host former anchor Fox fives here, what
30:40
Speaker 1: are the conditions on Britney Spears's probation.
30:46
Speaker 5: Nancy. I just want to go back quickly to the
30:48
Speaker 5: social media because people, I think feel just emotionally connected
30:52
Speaker 5: to her story. She's gone from a global pop icon
30:55
Speaker 5: to public struggles. We've seen it all to the conservatorship battle,
30:59
Speaker 5: and people are really invested in what happens next. And
31:02
Speaker 5: I think people are divided. Some people see her as
31:05
Speaker 5: expressing her freedom and independence, and others are concerned about
31:09
Speaker 5: her well being. But I think this just really highlights
31:12
Speaker 5: the difference between the legal outcome here and public perception
31:16
Speaker 5: because legally, technically this is result, but publicly people are
31:19
Speaker 5: still going to form opinions based on what they see
31:22
Speaker 5: her doing in real time on social media. Like right here,
31:25
Speaker 5: she's dancing to the song Feeling Love by Paula Cole
31:29
Speaker 5: in a short dress showing a lot of skin. And
31:31
Speaker 5: we have to keep in mind Britney Spears is a performer,
31:35
Speaker 5: so she probably misses that aspect in her life. So
31:37
Speaker 5: this is just a way of her showing self expression.
31:40
Speaker 5: Some people do that through golf, some people paint. Everyone
31:43
Speaker 5: has different hobbies and I think this is just a
31:45
Speaker 5: way that she expresses herself online. But I think a
31:48
Speaker 5: lot of people are always so quick to judge what
31:51
Speaker 5: she's doing and think something is wrong. But you can
31:53
Speaker 5: see in her Instagram bio she says she's an artist,
31:56
Speaker 5: a mama. She prays every day and chef in the work.
31:59
Speaker 5: So clearly she has things that she loves in her life.
32:02
Speaker 5: And I think you know, she probably wants to do
32:04
Speaker 5: well and this is just a form of expression for her.
32:07
Speaker 1: That said Sierra Fox. Again, no one is judging her morally.
32:11
Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't care, Sierra Fox, unless there
32:15
Speaker 1: is crime scene tape around it, then I care. I
32:19
Speaker 1: did make the observation, and she's going to dance, including
32:22
Speaker 1: dancing naked, she might as well get paid for it
32:24
Speaker 1: and get up on a stage and make money for
32:27
Speaker 1: herself so she can continue the high life that she's living.
32:32
Speaker 1: That said, I'm certainly not a financial advisor, but Dave
32:36
Speaker 1: Mac I agree with everything Sierra Fox just said. But again,
32:42
Speaker 1: what are the conditions of.
32:45
Speaker 6: Probation asie, She has twelve months of informal probation, and
32:51
Speaker 6: during that time she actually needs a three month substance
32:55
Speaker 6: abuse program that has to be fulfilled. She was ordered
33:00
Speaker 6: to continue mental health treatment that means a weekly psychologist
33:05
Speaker 6: twice monthly psychiatrist visits and as part of the condition,
33:09
Speaker 6: she waived that Fourth Amendment right to searching her vehicle
33:13
Speaker 6: without a warrant. Her attorney fought and prevented it from
33:16
Speaker 6: being extended to her home. They have to get a
33:18
Speaker 6: warrant to search her home now. The DA's office, Nancy
33:22
Speaker 6: considers this a quote unquote standard plea deal for a
33:26
Speaker 6: first time offender with a low blood alcohol level.
33:34
Speaker 1: There are conditions to Britney Spears' plea. She will be
33:37
Speaker 1: placed on twelve months probation. That is going to be
33:41
Speaker 1: a problem if she violates the law within the next year.
33:44
Speaker 1: She cannot possess drugs without a prescription, a valid prescription.
33:49
Speaker 1: That could be a problem because it's been reported Spears
33:53
Speaker 1: has gone to Mexico more than once to get her
33:56
Speaker 1: hands on adderall. She has to go to mental health
34:00
Speaker 1: substance abuse treatment, meet with a psych once a week,
34:03
Speaker 1: a psychiatrist twice a month. If she violates any of
34:07
Speaker 1: these conditions during the next twelve months, she can be
34:12
Speaker 1: sentenced to jail, speaking of jail max minor other than
34:18
Speaker 1: getting dried out in jail. Do you believe any of
34:22
Speaker 1: the rehab programs behind bars work.
34:28
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that's a there's a two part question
34:30
Speaker 3: of that, Nancy, is that you've got the state level programs,
34:33
Speaker 3: which quite frankly are pretty much non existent, especially in
34:36
Speaker 3: La County. And then you have the federal level programs
34:39
Speaker 3: excuse me, three parts, and then you have the the
34:41
Speaker 3: actual programs that are in prison, you know, like in upstate,
34:44
Speaker 3: and those, you know, those absolutely provide value. But in
34:48
Speaker 3: terms of La County jail, other than maybe getting a
34:53
Speaker 3: you know, a alcoholics anonymous little book, you'll lucky, you'll
34:56
Speaker 3: be lucky to get that, there's not really any programs
34:59
Speaker 3: that are a aailable to individuals. At least I know
35:02
Speaker 3: during my time, my wonderful time that I spent there,
35:05
Speaker 3: you know, when I used to joke and call it
35:07
Speaker 3: my penthouse on the fifth floor, there was there certainly
35:10
Speaker 3: wasn't any programs available to me.
35:12
Speaker 1: So question Troy Slayton. Part of the probation requirements is
35:17
Speaker 1: that she attend a duy class. I've ordered that many
35:23
Speaker 1: many times, but when it got to an HV moment
35:28
Speaker 1: habitual violator, the person had to go to jail because
35:32
Speaker 1: they had been charged with duy over and over reckless driving,
35:37
Speaker 1: hitting a fixed object you name it until finally they
35:41
Speaker 1: landed in my court. So what exactly are duy classes?
35:46
Speaker 1: What do they do? How often are they? Does she
35:50
Speaker 1: have to go? How will the court know if she
35:52
Speaker 1: doesn't show up? Explain?
35:56
Speaker 2: So, the three month alcohol class is known as AB
35:59
Speaker 2: five already one here in California. She has to It's
36:04
Speaker 2: broken up into several different types of sessions, one on
36:07
Speaker 2: one group sessions which she will have to attend in person,
36:12
Speaker 2: and they closely monitor it and they report back to
36:16
Speaker 2: the court. She's gonna have to show proof of enrollment
36:19
Speaker 2: in the class by a certain date. She's gonna have
36:22
Speaker 2: to show progress in the class by a certain date,
36:25
Speaker 2: and then she's gonna have to show proof of completion
36:28
Speaker 2: to the court by a certain date. If she misses
36:31
Speaker 2: any of those deadlines, or if she is a no
36:34
Speaker 2: show to class without a pre arrangement with the class
36:41
Speaker 2: to have a makeup class, then she could be in
36:43
Speaker 2: a lot of trouble and that would be a violation
36:46
Speaker 2: of her probation. So she's got a sword of damnicles
36:49
Speaker 2: hanging over her head by a very thin string.
36:53
Speaker 9: Discharge the reckless driving one is indeed what we call
36:57
Speaker 9: priorable should she reoffend it in the future, she will
37:01
Speaker 9: not be given the benefit of this reckless driving charge. Rather,
37:05
Speaker 9: she will be charged with driving under the influence, and
37:08
Speaker 9: her penalties and her consequences would ratchet up. That includes
37:13
Speaker 9: potentially up to five years of formal probation and one
37:17
Speaker 9: year Inventura County jail.
37:19
Speaker 7: In this case, that was a dy. There was no
37:23
Speaker 7: evidence presented that there were drugs in the home, alcohol
37:28
Speaker 7: or anything of that type. So therefore, looking at the
37:32
Speaker 7: nexus to the crime year, the court finds that it
37:35
Speaker 7: should only be limited to her vehicle those search terms
37:38
Speaker 7: I think, so she is open to search in seizure
37:42
Speaker 7: for alcohol and drugs in her vehicle only does miss
37:46
Speaker 7: Spears understand and set the terms of the conditions of
37:49
Speaker 7: her summary probation?
37:51
Speaker 4: Sear behalf from the spear she weeds and.
37:53
Speaker 7: She understands, And does she understand that this is priorable
37:56
Speaker 7: as dui meaning although she was only convicted of they
37:59
Speaker 7: went and reckless, if she's convicted the duy within the
38:02
Speaker 7: next ten years, it will count as a second.
38:04
Speaker 3: Does she understand that shit all right?
38:07
Speaker 7: Then she's released on twelve months of summary probation, will
38:10
Speaker 7: need sign terms within one.
38:12
Speaker 1: Month from our friends at Fox News and Extra. So
38:17
Speaker 1: does this mean at the end of twelve months she's
38:20
Speaker 1: cut loose Max Minor, no supervision, no psych, no duy
38:26
Speaker 1: class is nothing, you.
38:29
Speaker 3: Know, unfortunately, Nancy, that that's exactly act. That's one hundred
38:32
Speaker 3: percent accurate, right, as long as she adheres to the
38:35
Speaker 3: terms of her probation successfully completes the AB five forty
38:38
Speaker 3: one that Troy spoke about. You know, and I want
38:42
Speaker 3: to add to that is that, you know, while that
38:44
Speaker 3: is conducted by a third party, there's there's there's programs,
38:47
Speaker 3: businesses that provide these services. You know, it's not it's
38:53
Speaker 3: not as cut and dry as people think. It's not
38:54
Speaker 3: as black and white.
38:55
Speaker 2: You know.
38:56
Speaker 3: Yes, people say, well if you miss one class, but
38:58
Speaker 3: there's ways to wiggle around it, right, There's ways to
39:02
Speaker 3: there's ways to work the system. So you know, in
39:05
Speaker 3: the beginning saying I talked about, well, I mean, for example,
39:09
Speaker 3: let's say you know, she doesn't show up for a
39:11
Speaker 3: couple of sessions. There's ways, you know, if you're looking
39:14
Speaker 3: to game the system, there's ways to do it, of course, right, Unfortunately,
39:18
Speaker 3: but I think what we talked.
39:20
Speaker 1: About, how do you do it? Max I know you
39:22
Speaker 1: know the answer. How do you cheat the order?
39:28
Speaker 3: So, I mean, for example, what you could very easily do.
39:30
Speaker 3: So let's say she let's say she she does have
39:32
Speaker 3: to take a you know, a a urine test, right,
39:35
Speaker 3: I mean, you can easily adulterate that test. You can
39:38
Speaker 3: buy you know, literally, you know, at a smoke shop.
39:42
Speaker 3: You can go and buike, buy fake urine. Right, you
39:44
Speaker 3: heat it up in the microwave. It's got a little
39:46
Speaker 3: temperature strip on it. Make sure that it's within range,
39:50
Speaker 3: and boom, right if it's a non if it's not
39:52
Speaker 3: a what's called a monitored test, all she has to
39:56
Speaker 3: do is slip that in the cup. Right, There's it's
39:59
Speaker 3: not that difficult, Dan, Nancy. It really is.
40:01
Speaker 1: Why do you put urine in the microwave? And why
40:04
Speaker 1: do you even know that max minor?
40:07
Speaker 3: Well, because listen, right, when you collect a specimen, it
40:10
Speaker 3: has to be within a certain temperature range. And so
40:13
Speaker 3: they've got this nice little timperature strip on it, right,
40:15
Speaker 3: and as long as it falls between ninety and one
40:18
Speaker 3: hundred and two hundred and three degrees typically you're in
40:21
Speaker 3: the clear. And you know, maybe I know that because
40:25
Speaker 3: you know my past obviously is pretty checkered myself. So again, right,
40:29
Speaker 3: if there's ways, if you're looking for ways to do it,
40:32
Speaker 3: you can. But yes, to answer your question, you.
40:35
Speaker 1: Can buy clean urine and a smoke shop. Is that
40:43
Speaker 1: the urine you put in the microwave or was it
40:45
Speaker 1: your own urine you put in the microwave? Oh, excuse me,
40:49
Speaker 1: some other person sod, some other dude put it in
40:52
Speaker 1: the microwave.
40:53
Speaker 3: Synthetic, So it's it's what it's what's called synthetic urine. Right,
40:57
Speaker 3: it's not it's not real. It's not you know, actual uh,
41:01
Speaker 3: you know urine. But yeah, you could do that too.
41:03
Speaker 3: You could literally, you know, use somebody else's you know,
41:06
Speaker 3: urine that's clean. But yes, you can. You can go
41:09
Speaker 3: down to the smoke shop. You can buy synthetic urine.
41:12
Speaker 3: You can buy whatever it is you need. You can
41:14
Speaker 3: these have the rapid detox kits to flush out your system. Yeah,
41:20
Speaker 3: unfortunately that's the reality.
41:22
Speaker 1: Wow. Is there a way to get out of showing
41:25
Speaker 1: up at the duy class?
41:28
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there is. There's programs that exist. Uh, there's
41:34
Speaker 3: programs that have been shut down for it's what's called
41:37
Speaker 3: the pay to play right, and uh, you know pretty
41:41
Speaker 3: much every criminal defense attorney. Uh, well, he knows about these, right.
41:44
Speaker 3: I mean, this is the reality of this industry. There
41:48
Speaker 3: are programs where you can literally pay to play, meaning
41:52
Speaker 3: that you pay the fee and we say that you
41:55
Speaker 3: completed the program. We're gonna we're gonna say that you
41:57
Speaker 3: that you were here. And I've seen it where people
42:01
Speaker 3: have come in, clients have come in to try and
42:04
Speaker 3: and I'm sure Troy is seen this as well, come
42:07
Speaker 3: in to try and basically pass off a you know,
42:10
Speaker 3: a letter of completion. Well I looked at the this
42:13
Speaker 3: was from one of my h someone was trying to
42:15
Speaker 3: work with us, and I said, wait a minute. This
42:17
Speaker 3: program was shut down five years ago for this, for
42:21
Speaker 3: this exact type of behavior that I'm describing to you.
42:23
Speaker 3: So yeah, unfortunately, that is the reality, Nancy. This is
42:28
Speaker 3: what this is what's going on.
42:30
Speaker 1: Dave mac, Crime Stories, investigative reporter. I've had people that
42:35
Speaker 1: actually would strap the urine sample to their leg, tape
42:40
Speaker 1: it to their leg to get it to the body
42:41
Speaker 1: temp to submit it. I want to give you the
42:45
Speaker 1: last word, Dave mac.
42:46
Speaker 6: Nancy, I have to explain to the first thirty days
42:49
Speaker 6: of attempting sobriety, it's a roller coaster. The first ten days,
42:55
Speaker 6: your body is revolting against you and fighting against you
42:58
Speaker 6: every step of the way. It's the blitz creak on
43:01
Speaker 6: your system emotionally, psychologically, physically. And at seventeen days, Brittany
43:07
Speaker 6: is still experiencing that. What comes next is a pink cloud.
43:11
Speaker 6: Is all that stuff gets out of your body and
43:12
Speaker 6: you start feeling normal or human again. You start feeling
43:16
Speaker 6: emotions you haven't felt in years because they've been suppressed.
43:19
Speaker 6: These are all the things that await and my hope
43:23
Speaker 6: and my prayer is that Brittany will find somebody in
43:27
Speaker 6: the program that can surround her, can really really provide
43:31
Speaker 6: her with what she needs to accomplish a sober experience.
43:39
Speaker 6: You know, it's different than just stopping using alcohol or drugs. Nancy,
43:42
Speaker 6: that's a dry drunk. Almost anybody can do that. To
43:45
Speaker 6: actually live a sober life is to change all of
43:48
Speaker 6: your patterns, all of your life, and to actually stand
43:51
Speaker 6: on your own two feet. Hearing her tell her children
43:54
Speaker 6: to respect her, well, why would they. She's acting like
43:58
Speaker 6: a child. She needs to be the adult in the room,
44:00
Speaker 6: and she can. It's possible, and it's my hope and
44:03
Speaker 6: dream for her is this wake up call. We'll drive
44:05
Speaker 6: her into where she needs to be next.
44:09
Speaker 1: Our hopes and prayers for Britney Spears tonight, hoping there
44:14
Speaker 1: will never be a victim of her drunk driving. If

Speaker 1: created a cable empire, and I would like to report

Speaker 1: gave me my chance at a hill in Never once
45:07
Speaker 1: did I pass him in the hall or even on
45:09
Speaker 1: the street that he didn't stop me. Wish me well
