Rihanna Ordered To Testify
Thursday, May 28th, 2009
Pop star Rihanna has been keeping a low profile since allegedly being beaten by former BF Chris Brown in February, but she’s going to forced to recount the incident very soon.
The AP reports Rihanna is on the list of potential witnesses who will be subpoenaed to testify at Brown’s preliminary hearing June 22. The singer’s lawyer, Donald Etra, says that his client will comply with the order. This hearing will determine whether there is enough evidence against Brown to continue the case.
In a hearing today, a judge turned down a request by Brown attorney Mark Geragos to examine police and investigative records on the case, and pertaining to the leak of a photo showing Rihanna’s battered face.
Brown did not attend today’s hearing, but is required to appear at the preliminary hearing next month. This will be the first time he’s had to face Rihanna in public since the beating.

Will Police Leaks Let Chris Go Free?
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009
Chris Brown may be able to walk away from assault charges—all because of leaks by the LAPD.
According to RadarOnline, Brown’s high-priced attorney Mark Geragos plans to file a Pitchess motion seeking access to personnel file of police officers involved in the case, in which Brown is accused of badly beating his girl friend Rihanna in his car on the night before the Grammys in L.A. Geragos claims leaks by the department, including a photo of the battered Rihanna, have prejudiced the public against his client and are grounds for dismissing the case. Geragos is looking for the person who leaked the incriminating photo.
So having the public see exactly what your client did to his victim is grounds for getting him off? A preliminary hearing is set for May 28, if Geragos doesn’t get that plea bargain he wants by then.
