Celebrity Justice
Rihanna's Command Performance -- In Court

Chris Brown RihannaRihanna's lawyer just said the D.A. told him his client will be subpoenaed at the next court hearing.

Donald Etra said Rihanna will be called to the stand to testify at Chris Brown's preliminary hearing on June 22.

Etra says his client will cooperate and take the stand. It's not at all unexpected that the alleged victim would be called to the stand in a prelim.

Also today, the judge rejected a motion made by Chris Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, asking for an order requiring the LAPD to ante up info regarding leaks in the case.

17. Looks like Chris Brown may have to face the music after all. Insert evil laugh. Let's show these young broads how unacceptable his actions were!!!!


Message from Eve (the only celebrity with some sense apparently) ---- "Hold on hold on!! I'm just gonna reach out to some of y'all out there and say this bluntly, why do ppl keep tryin to protect Chris Brown's ass hes guilty until proven innocent, and no man should ever raise a hand to a woman, I'm so sick of people kissin his ass..yeh i did just watch a clip of him saying 'he isnt a monster'...yeh motherf***r u are. let him or any other man come to me with power fists..id f**k him up"

"And a message to rihanna...girl your beautiful and talented and u don't need a n**** like that around u...ur special and deserve better & finally,no we dont no wat happened that night, all i no, is seein rihanna's beautiful face bruised and upset..that's enuff 4 me."

"I'm glad y'all agree with me...im so sick of the media trying to sugar coat a serious issue. thanks for your responses, keep them coming tho."

18. awesome...this is great news. She needs to sing like a bird and put this woman beating punk byotch in jail where this violent animal belongs. he can't act like a "big man" and hit her in court, so she'll finally have a chance to SPEAK without getting the sh!t kicked out of her. Be strong Rihanna and kill this monster in court!

19. He pled NOT GUILTY. Did you see that poor girls face? Woman beaters are a special kind of horror. Thery believe their own hype. Throw the book at him. Do not buy his music, boycott his music and any he assists with producing.

23. Why can't crybaby Chris Brown stand up and face the music for what he did?
The whole world knows he is guilty -- how can he say otherwise?
-- is he brain dead too?

Speak for yourself please. I am a part of this whole world and I cannot say that I know he is guilty or he is not guilty I was NOT there. So if you were standing outside and saw them fighting then fine, you know he is guilty but as for the rest of the world, you can't speak for them. Also, I hope if she has some blame in this that she stand up and tell the truth and for him to do the same. Whatever happens happens but the TRUTH needs to be told, not two people out to hurt each other the best they can.

Praying for both of them

24. it's great rihanna is going to testify - that's brave of her to have to live through it again and recount the details to a courtroom in the name of the law. I hope that Chris Brown's "celebrity" status doesn't interfere in getting the punishment he deserves. Who ever told him he had that kind of right over anyone, especially a woman?

25. BROWN IS THE SCUM OF THE EARTH. ONCE A WOMAN BEATER, ALWAYS A WOMAN BEATER. THIS WHACKED PUNK ASS SHOULD BE FED TO THE DOGS.

26. BURN IN HELL BROWN!

27. I CANT WAIT UNTIL I HEAR CHRIS SIDE OF THE STORY. THE MEDIA HAS BEEN ONE-SIDED FOR TO DAMN LONG.

28. Ha Ha!!! She can't run from this one! Don't get me wrong; I assumed Chris was wrong at first, but she has me doubting everything w/. her frivolous behaviour. Then this new Kanye video, she laughs like a crazy person while driving then hits her own head on the steering wheel.
If she trashes him, she loses fans of them both; if she protects him, she loses the same amount of supporters/onlookers.

29. She better tell the truth; she has tried to help him enough now she is under oath and they will lock her up if she lies she is black , just look at lil kim.

30. The judge rejected his motion to be smart. Everyone knows that photo of Rihanna was leaked illegally to help build a better case against Chris Brown. It's not right, whatever happened to a fair trial. Yes it was wrong for him to hit her; I'll admit that but there is three sides to every story. Everyone is basing their information off of the photo that was leaked of Rihanna. It's funny how NO mugshots were released of Chris Brown. In case everyone didn't know, he to suffered from buts and bruises and it's not just because she was trying to get him off of her. She hit him first! Now tell me how its excusable for a woman to hit a man. Of course the woman will have more damage done because we (women) can not hit as hard as a man can. Chris Brown apologized for “what transpired”. No where did he indicate that he “beat Rihanna up” as you stated above, in that apology.
Chris Brown plead “not guilty” to FELONY charges brought against him. YOU should probably be the one to take the time to read the specifics of those FELONY charges against him and note that he most likely did not PLEAD GUILTY to those charges because they were not the extent of the crime he allegedly committed. He has yet to “deny beating up Rihanna”, as you so falsely stated. School yourself on legal proceedings before passing judgement on that by which you haven’t a clue.
Until Rihanna comes out and says Chris Brown “beat her to a pulp” that is a lie as well. She has yet to say any of that, unless you include a false, UNSIGNED, non-legally binding affidavit of a police officer’s assessment that was illegally leaked to media outlets and blogs as “proof.”
