Trial starts against parents of Britney Spears

Posted: Updated:
LOS ANGELES -

The lawyer for Britney Spears' former manager says he's been painted as a scapegoat for her mental breakdown.

The attorney for Sam Lutfi told a Los Angeles jury yesterday Lutfi tried to help Spears but lost control. Lutfi is suing Spears' parents, claiming her mother defamed him in her 2008 book, "Through the Storm" when she said he was trying to manipulate her daughter.

Lutfi also says he's entitled to profits from Spears' 2007 "Blackout" album. Attorneys for Spears' parents will present opening arguments next.
