Chris Brown Goes To Court; Rihanna Stands By Her Man...Again - Page 2
When asked whether or not Rihanna could possibly face retribution for refusing to appear, he explained the legalities: "The prosecution is very familiar with continuing to prosecute domestic violence cases when the complaining witness changes her mind and doesn't want to testify- they have often in past years sent people to jail or been willing to send people to jail if they refuse to testify. It's just the way the law is constructed. Now there's a real question as to whether they can do that to her."
As for why Geragos requested a continuance, Goldman threw out two possible options. One, there could be a plea deal in the works, or two, the lawyers just need more time.
It seems that everything started when Chris got a text message from another woman; he and Rihanna started arguing, and it all went downhill from there:
*Rihanna read a three-page text message on Brown's phone from a woman.*An argument followed. Brown allegedly tried to force Rihanna out of the car.
*Brown then allegedly shoved Rihanna's head against the passenger window. Brown punched her, then continued punching Rihanna while driving.
*Blood splattered all over Rihanna's clothing and in the interior of the car. Her mouth was filled with blood. Brown allegedly told Rihanna, "I'm going to beat the **** out of you when we get home. You wait and see."
*Rihanna called her assistant and left a message saying, "I am on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there." Brown allegedly then replied, "You just did the stupidest thing ever. I'm going to kill you."
*The report also says Brown punched Rihanna, bit her on her ear, her fingers and put her in a headlock.
Possibly the most disturbing thing to come out of this is the news that this may not be the first time he has abused her, this is just the first time Chris got caught at it. It seems that not only has this happened before, but that there are even worse photos of the incident than the one which has been released:
Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the night of the attack Rihanna told cops she was the victim of escalating violence — and the perp was Brown. Continued on the next page
