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.

31. Chris Brown is LUCKY to be rid of Rhianna's ass! If she hit me with a cell phone and high heeled shoe while I was driving, I would whoop her upside the head too! She's lucky he didn't push her ass outside the car while it was still moving. And no, this is not a guy writing this, I am female and 100% behind Chris Brown.

32. She needs to get on the stand and state the truth...PERIOD. She may have instigated the arguement, but he wasn't the one beaten and left bloody. She has also said this was not the first time he abused her. He definately has anger issues and IS NOT the "sweet, gentle" person everyone thought he was. I hope she is truly over him and not just waiting for this to blow over so she can go back to him like so many victims do. If he is allowed to get away with this, Rhianna or some other woman WILL be abused again.

33. EDUCATION IS THE KEY HERE. CHRIS DID THE RIGHT THING BY PLEADING NOT GUILTY BECAUSE FELONY CHARGES IS THE WRONG CHARGE AND ANY JURY THAT IS EDUCATED ON THE LAW WILL KNOW THAT. LOOKING AT A PHOTO DOESN'T DETERMINE FELONY CHARGES. THE JUDGE AND THE LAPD IS GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE THE INFORMATION UP SOONER OR LATER. CHRIS AND HIS LAWYER HAS THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHO RELEASED THOSE PICTURES TO TMZ PERIOD. IM GLAD SHE IS GOING TO TALK BECAUSE THEREFORE WE WILL FIND OUT THE TRUTH. RIHANNA NEVER SAID OUT OF HER MOUTH NOT ONCE THAT CHRIS BROWN BEAT THE PULP OUT OF HER. THIS GIRL HASN'T SPOKEN YET SO DONT THINK SHE IS OUT TO BURY HIM PEOPLE. IF SHE TESTIFIES AND SAY SHE PUT HER HANDS ON HIM FIRST THAN THE FELONY CHARGES ARE NOT GOING TO STICK. WITHOUT HER TESTIMONY I PROMISE ALL OF YOU THAT FELONY CHARGES ARE NOT GOING TO STICK PEOPLE.

37. i think that it is good that the judge rejected the motion. i think that chris brown should just take his punishment like a man. if he's man enough to beat someone up then he needs to be man enough to take his punishment. i also think that the public would maybe even consider forgiving him if he just took his punishment and admit he was wrong instead of trying to get out of it anyway he can. yes he was completely wrong for beating her up but i do think he deserves a second chance just like anybody else. all these people saying they wish he would burn in hell that wouldnt do anything he needs serious help to find out why he just snapped like that. he should take his punishment, apologize, and get some counsiling

38. Rihanna's a weak-ass. She had to be forced to speak. Meanwhile prancing all over the world in new clothes. No class whatsoever.

41. I'm so glad that Rhianna gonna testify. Chris is going to get the beatdown he so rightfully deserves.

42. I agree with danii #35 but think we should remember that unless Rihanna is lying, he threatened her life AND this was not the first time something like this has happened, so he has snapped before.

43. good cause we can actually find out what really happened that not in the car cause only rihanna and chris brown would no but i dont think chris brown out the clear blue sky would hit rihanna everybody so far said rihanna a hands problem so i think just as everybody saying chris brown needs help anger management rihanna needs it to.....
