Britney Spears can now hire her own counsel — for the first time in 13 years

Yamiche Alcindor discusses her case with Ronan Farrow, an investigative reporter and contributing writer to The New Yorker, and Jonathan Martinis, senior director for law and policy at the Burton Blatt Institute at Syracuse University.
