Lawyer: Britney Spears latest conservatorship move keeps prison sentence – Yahoo Finance

Britney Spears is once again asking the courts to replace her father as conservator of her estate — but at least one expert thinks the latest filing is hardly in the pop star's long-term interest.  On Monday, Britney's newly appointed lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, filed a petition to remove Jamie Spears from his position as sole conservator of the pop star's reported $60 million estate.  Rosengart — a former prosecutor and prominent Hollywood lawyer whose A-list clients include Ben Affleck and Steven Spielberg — recommended CPA accountant Jason Rubin as Jamie's replacement.
