Rihanna Will Testify Against Breezy
Posted by Media Outrage on May 29, 2009
Rihanna will attend Chris Brown’s next court hearing and be subpoenaed to testify.
Via Eurweb:
Rihanna and Chris Brown are scheduled to be in the same courtroom next month during a preliminary hearing in his assault case.
According to the Associated Press, Rihanna’s attorney Donald Etra says prosecutors will subpoena his client to testify at the June 22 hearing to determine whether there is enough evidence to bring the case to trial.
It would mark her first appearance in court since felony assault and criminal threats charges were filed against Brown in March. If she is called to testify, the 21-year-old singer would be subject to cross-examination by Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos.
Brown was arrested in February on suspicion of hitting and choking Rihanna in a rented car hours before the couple were scheduled to appear at the Grammy Awards. Etra wouldn’t address their relationship now, but said Rihanna, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, was following the case closely.
A judge on Thursday rejected a motion by Geragos to receive police and investigative records related to the case and the apparent leak of a photo of a beaten and bruised Rihanna. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg told Geragos the motion was premature and he could file it again after the preliminary hearing.
Brown wasn’t in court Thursday, but he’s required to attend the preliminary hearing. The 20-year-old R&B singer faces possible sentences that range from probation to nearly five years in prison if convicted.
Mediaoutrage- If she ever had a problem singing infront of people before, we’re sure she won’t have a problem singing her little heart out before that judge.

I agree @ Ucanb2…. She may have to answer questions that make her look bad, and take some of the blame off him. This should be interesting.
