Britney Spears' father testified for nearly 90 minutes Monday about why he felt a long-term restraining order should be issued against three people, including the singer's former manager and an ex-boyfriend. Jamie Spears was the first witness to testify in the restraining order case, and it did little to establish direct contact between Osama “Sam” Lutfi and his daughter since a conservatorship was established a year ago. Calling Lutfi a “predator” and repeating an allegation that he ground medication into his daughter's food, Jamie Spears said he thought his daughter's one-time friend and manager was a danger to the family. Jamie Spears said he did not know if the pair talked then or since. He said Lutfi had called Spears on other phones and tried to relay a “Merry Christmas” message through the singer's hairdresser and get her to call him. Jamie Spears' testimony was just one part of the case that he and his lawyers could bring to justify the restraining order. Lutfi, Ghalib and Britney Spears did not appear during Monday's hearing. “We asked him to go away,” Jamie Spears said Monday. “He agreed to go away. I just want the man to go away.”
