Chris Brown's Lawyer May Want Case Dismissed

Chris Brown's high-powered lawyer, Mark Geragos, told TMZ on his way out of the courtroom this morning he may want the Rihanna case against his client dismissed because of leaks in the case.

Geragos told us, "Leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regard to outrageous governmental misconduct." Geragos is asking for discovery -- in other words, he wants the LAPD to ante up whatever info they have on info about the case that has gotten out.

3. chris brown is a loser -- he should take responsibility for beating up a woman.
why should he get special treatment for breaking the law?

take your punishment like a man, you wimp.

4. Of course he wants it dismissed. His client did the dead and there is photographic and medical evidence to support it. I hope Rihanna sticks to her guns and doesn't buy that dimissal crap. Let Homey do some time behind bars and maybe it'll make him humble.

5. does anyone else here use AOL mail to verify their comments? I lose about 20-30% of the comments I try to enter. I just never receive a confirmation e-mail at all and it just disappears and it only seems to happen on my AOL mail account. My hotmail and yahoo accounts work just fine. And if I do get the e-mail it's usually fifteen minutes later, while hotmail and yahoo get them immediately.

7. It should be dismissed...there are murderers who get less time than what he could face...they're only doing this because the picture got leaked...people need to let it go so they can move on with their lives

12. You did the right thing Chris. Dont let some black, short beotch hit on you while you are driving and accusing you of cheating. You need to get the hell away from that crazy bitch. She is jealous cuz she is ugly and untalented. You are handsome and very very talented and have a lot going for you. And Dont listen to the media trying to bring you down.....Just get the hell away from that man hitting beotch

14. TMZ what's up with the pics of Chris looking like a thug? That's not right! You guys make me sick. I want the case dismissed too because it's bulls**t. The media has been so one sided on this whole thing and it's awful. I'm also tired of losers like TMZ and Mediatakeout and other greasy sites taking advantage of these two young people's misfortune and pain. You are all going to rott in hell and your jobs are meaningless they don't bring any good to this world. I hope you overdose on the money you're earning from this filth!
