After circling the public garage for 15 minutes, Britney is finally admitted into the monthly parking garage under the courthouse, where she is brought up into the building — and into a holding room — around 1:25 p.m. PT.

Without even entering the courtroom, witnesses are telling OK! that Brit has exited the courthouse at 1:45 p.m. PT and is circling the garage once more. Stay tuned.
So apparently she did make it into the courthouse once, via the tunnel.  She then came back out, circled the courthouse again, and it appears that it is then that she makes her dramatic declaration:

"I'm scared. I want to get in the car. I'm going in the car," she said after stepping out of the car as photographers crowded around her.

Spears, 26, then got back in the car. Police tried to coax her out, but she slammed her back against the seat and shouted, "No!" Spears's car eventually drove off.


Sounds like a bit of a tantrum to me.

And TMZ is reporting that her decision not to come upstairs and be in the courtroom definitely influenced Commissioner Scott Gordon, who is now convinced that Brit's problems are more mental than drug related:

We're told today's witnesses presented a deeply disturbed picture of Spears. The witnesses told the story first reported on TMZ this weekend of a woman out of control. We're also told her the judge was deeply concerned that her instability posed a danger to her children.

Commissioner Scott Gordon was definitely influenced by the fact that Spears chose not to show up in court.
