Singer Chris Brown's DC trial delayed for months
April 23, 104

 

Brown will remain in custody for the near future after a Los Angeles judge denied a request by the Grammy-winning singer's attorney to release him from custody while he awaits trial.

Brown's trial had been set to start in Washington on Wednesday, and Brown's bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, had been expected to testify and say that he, not Brown, hit a man outside a hotel in the nation's capital in October. Hollosy was tried separately and convicted Monday of assault, but he plans to appeal.

Hollosy's lawyer has said that unless Hollosy is granted immunity, he will not testify until his appeal is over.

A lawyer for Brown said in court Wednesday that could take at least six months. Prosecutors have said it could take a year. No new trial date for Brown was set.

Prosecutors told a judge they decided not to grant Hollosy immunity because he refused to meet with them to discuss his testimony following his conviction. They also believe his likely testimony, that he alone threw a punch, would be a lie.

Prosecutors say Brown and Hollosy hit 20-year-old Parker Adams after Adams tried to get into a photo Brown was taking with two women outside his tour bus. Witnesses testified at Hollosy's trial that Adams and Brown exchanged words over the picture and Brown, then Hollosy, hit Adams.

Hollosy told police a different story. He said he hit Adams after Adams tried to get on Brown's tour bus. Brown denied hitting Adams and made a similar statement to police.

A judge trying Hollosy's case found Hollosy struck Adams and that Brown acted as the initial aggressor. A Los Angeles prosecutor cited the finding during a hearing Wednesday afternoon, but it was not considered by the judge who refused to release Brown.

Earlier Wednesday, D.C. Superior Court Judge A. Franklin Burgess Jr. set a status hearing in Brown's case for June 25, the same day Hollosy is scheduled to be sentenced.

"I think all of this is much ado about nothing and frankly I look forward to being able to try this at some point," Brown's lead attorney Mark Geragos said outside of court Wednesday.

Evidence of Brown's conduct in Washington could lead him to face additional penalties in California due to a conviction for attacking pop singer and ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. Brown was on probation in that case when he was arrested in Washington.

Los Angeles prosecutors and a judge had been awaiting the outcome of the Washington trial, but could consider additional punishments based on evidence and testimony presented during a probation violation hearing.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Victor Greenberg refused to consider rulings in the Washington case during a brief hearing Wednesday. Another of Brown's lawyers, Bob Kalunian, argued the singer should be released on his own recognizance or on bail.

The judge set a hearing for May 1 to determine when a probation violation hearing should be held. The hearing would cover evidence and testimony likely to be presented against the singer in Washington.

Kalunian said the singer wanted the hearing as soon as possible and Greenberg said it would likely happen before the Washington assault trial.

Brown entered anger management rehab at a facility in California shortly after his Washington arrest, but he was dismissed from the Malibu facility in mid-March for violating its rules. He was then jailed without bail and has been in custody since.

He was transported to the Washington area by the U.S. Marshals Service and will now be transported back to California.

Chris Brown admits violating probation, gets 1 year in L.A. County Jail
May 9, 2014

Snger Chris Brown on Friday admitted to violating his probation by committing a crime in the Washington, D.C., area and was promptly sentenced to a year in county jail by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge.

Brown has already spent a couple of months in jail and more than three months in a rehab program and will be given 234 days of credit for time served.

Mark Geragos, Brown's attorney, said the singer could get an early release by the weekend because he has served 234 of the 365 days.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Brandlin said the 365-day sentence was the maximum he could give the defendant short of state prison.

The judge said he would reinstate Brown's probation when he is released, and he will require the defendant to see a psychiatrist twice a week, complete his outstanding community service, take appropriate medication and not use medical marijuana.

Brandlin, in making the decision, said he had noted that Brown was a relatively youthful offender at the time of his original offense in 2009 when he assaulted the singer Rihanna.

The judge noted that since then he has learned Brown has an underlying mental health condition and it was a mitigating factor in his sentencing. Previous court records have stated Brown is bipolar.

The L.A. judge also extended Brown's probation to Jan. 23, 2015.

Singer Chris Brown released early from jail
June 2, 2014

Singer Chris Brown was released from jail early Monday morning, several months before completing his one-year sentence, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials confirmed.

In early May, Brown, 25, was sentenced to a year in jail by a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge for violating his probation in connection with a 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend, pop star Rihanna.

Brown admitted in court to his arrest last October. He was charged with assault in an incident outside of a Washington hotel.l

The R&B singer was released just after midnight on Monday from the county's Inmate Reception Center, L.A. County sheriff's Deputy Don Walker said.

Brown had served several months in jail and more than three months in a rehab program prior to his sentencing and had been expected to be released early due to overcrowding in Los Angeles County jails.

During Brown's May 9 sentencing, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge James Brandlin extended the entertainer's probation upon his release from jail to Jan. 23, 2015. Brown also will be required to see a Pasadena psychiatrist twice a week as well as a therapist, complete his outstanding community service, take appropriate medication and not use medical marijuana.
