Chris Brown appeared in an L.A. County Courthouse yesterday to enter his “Not Guilty” plea at his arraignment over the alleged beating of girlfriend, Rihanna.
According to press on-hand, “Brown quietly entered a not guilty plea on both of his felony charges of assault and making criminal threats.”
From here, the “Kiss Kiss” singer will return to court for a hearing on April 29. If convicted, he could face up to four years and eight months in prison.
Meanwhile, Rihanna’s lawyer, Donald Etra, told press following the arraignment: “What happened this afternoon is what we fully expected would happen this afternoon. It was merely a routine matter.” (Source)
While C-Breezy was in court in his tuxedo pants, Rihanna was headed back home. She was spotted arriving at the airport in Barbados and has made it clear she doesn’t want to testify in the case and wants Brown to cop a plea. It’s also being said that one of the main reasons she’s in Barbados right now is because “she wants to be as far away from this case as possible.”

How dumb
this entire situation is gaining too much media attention for chris brown and rihanna. the focus should not be on the two young celebrities, it should be on the actual issue – domestic violence, especially among youth. the media has turned this ordeal into a circus. that’s my two cents!
im soooo over rihanna!! the last thing i want is for my little sisters to think its cool to let a guy str8 trash you, then go back to him and help him beat the case. no no no no no
you just lost one sis..
that’s rite why whould you go back with somebody after they beat you up??! How crazy!!
Rihana didn’t go to Barbados to avoid the hearing. She went there to get a low cost abortion.
And Chris Brown is still bringing his mammy and other people to his hearing who support him, pray for him, etc. I wonder when he gets locked up if they’ll let him keep his posse.
This is getting out of hand. I understand its a regular legal routine but pleading “not guilty” just seems shady as heck. This whole topic of domestic violence is a huge deal. I remember seeing this talked about at 99problems.org.
you the **** RHI….i LOVE you girl….!!!!!
