Chris Brown Must Face The Music:Trial to Continue
No matter how many times Chris Brown’s attorney tries to press pause on his assault case, it looks like it’s finally time for the R&B star to face the music. The California Supreme Court has refused to postpone a make-or-break preliminary hearing scheduled for Monday, which will effectively determine whether there is enough evidence for the 20-year-old to stand trial over his alleged beat-down of Rihanna. Among the more newsworthy elements of next week’s hearing is the planned testimony of Rihanna herself; the singer, through her attorney mouthpiece, has long claimed that she will cooperate fully with the prosecution and she was subpoenaed to take the stand earlier this month.
Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos had previously sought to delay the proceedings by taking his chief hang-up—namely, his inability to obtain police records of their internal investigation into the leaked police photo—to the case’s presiding judge in Los Angeles Superior Court. It was denied. Then last month, the 2nd District Court of Appeal rejected his bid to have the decision overturned, leading Geragos to take his request to the state’s Supreme Court.Where, apparently, his luck didn’t improve. At issue is a pending, and unrelated, case in the California Supreme Court that could potentially change the time line of when such files are handed over. As it stands under current law, Geragos and his team will only be allowed access to the records after the preliminary hearing (aka Monday’s showdown); he wants them before. source
