Amanda Bynes Almost Got Her 5150 Reversed

Acting without an attorney, yesterday afternoon, Amanda Bynes spoke up in mental health court and almost convinced a judge that she should be released late yesterday when her 72 hour 5150 hold expired. The doctors at the Pasadena hospital and her parents asked for the judge to extend the 5150 hold for an additional 14 days to allow them to obtain another conservatorship over their daughter. The judge however only extended the hold for three more days and then will revisit the issue. Apparently, even though not all of the meds have started working, Amanda managed to hold herself together and checked off a list of several reasons why she should no longer be held. She told the judge she had not harmed herself or others and that she how she chose to live her life was her business.  She said she broke no laws, although, either one of the stores she attempted to shoplift from could have squashed that. She stated there were no grounds to keep her under a 5150 hold and was lucid and really made a strong case. Her parents better hurry if they want her to not to be out on her own again very soon.
