Rihanna To Testify Against Chris Brown



On Chris Brown's June 22 hearing, the "Umbrella" star
Rihanna will be present to testify against him on his
alleged February assault.

"Rihanna was served at my office by Los Angeles District
Attorney investigators. If the preliminary hearing indeed
goes forward, she is now legally required to be there, she
will be there and will answer questions truthfully".....Donald
Etra (Rihanna's counsel).

Chris pleaded not guilty to felony assault and making threats
which made gathering enough evidence for a trial the aim of
the upcoming hearing.

Jeffery Rubenstein (Defense lawyer) explained:"Rihanna's
testimony can make or break the case. Her willingness to
testify and be truthful about what happened is a step closer
to convicting Chris. On the other hand, if prosecutors fail to
present a case, Geragos (Chris' counsel) can seek to dismiss or
reduce the charges on the spot."

Geragos argued that Chris won't be able to get a fair trial due
to leaked pictures allegedly showing Rihanna's injuries to a
website.
