Chris Brown Appears In Court Looking Depressed As Judge Sentences Him To More Jail Time

R&B singer Chris Brown arrived in Los Angeles yesterday after spending days shackled on Con Air, the justice system's airline service for inmates who are extradited to other jurisdictions in America. He has been jailed for the past six weeks due to a probation violation. The singer has gained a little weight, giving him a healthier look. However, Brown looked troubled and depressed during his court hearing, as Judge James Brandlin order the singer to spend another week in jail, while his lawyer negotiates a plea deal over his probation violation. 

 

This means Brown will spend his upcoming birthday in jail. Brown turns 25 on May 5th, 2014, also known as Cinco De Mayo. The star also spent Easter in jail, regarding a Washington assault case involving local, Parker Adams. Brown's trial has been delayed while the singer's bodyguard, who was also charged in the incident, appeals his conviction in the aforementioned matter. The circumstances surrounding the case are not working in Brown's favor. 

 

CNN is reporting, "The prosecutor said last week that she would "strenuously object" to Brown being released because it appears likely Brown will be found guilty of the assault charge in Washington. Assistant District Attorney Mary Murray argued the only change since Brown was jailed in March is that his case has "gotten worse." The Washington judge who found his bodyguard guilty in the assault case also concluded that Brown was "the initial aggressor" in the incident, Murray said."

KTLA also reported, "The prosecutors cited Hollosy’s refusal to talk to them about his testimony as a major reason for the decision not to grant immunity. Their motion also said they suspected he might lie in his testimony to help Brown."

Chris Brown Could Be Locked Up In Jail For A Year Pending Trial In Washington Assault Case

R&B singer Chris Brown was handed a legal blow this week. Due to his bodyguard, Chris Hollosy, being found guilty of assault in an incident where he punched a man, Parker Adams, to prevent him from boarding his tour bus and was found guilty, the star's trial is being delayed. The delay is due Hollosy appealing his conviction (both men are being tried separately for the same incident).

The case would proceed at a faster pace if Hollosy would testify in Brown's case, but as prosecutors refuse to grant him immunity, the bodyguard has declined. The prosecutors are making their point clear, they want Brown locked up as long as possible between before, between and after trial.

One of Brown's lawyers stated the trial process could end up taking 6-months, while prosecutors are estimating 1-year. In short, they want Brown locked up for a while. The Huffington Post stated, "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." 

Brown is due back in Los Angeles for a probation violation hearing in the Rihanna domestic violence case, via a long 4-5 day plane ride on Con Air, the airplane service operated by the government, used to transport inmates to various courts around the country to stand trial. Brown will once again be shackled/chained for the duration of the trip.

Brown's family and girlfriend Karrueche Tran have been supporting him during the trial, walking into the courthouse looking very somber, realizing he could be locked away for 1-4 years. Brown is also not doing well in jail. A settlement would have been the better outcome, but Adams and his lawyer want millions of dollars.

Judge Patricia Wynn has ordered another delay in the Chris Brown assault trial taking place in Washington. The trial is set to resume June 25, 2014. The continuance is due to Brown's bodyguard Chris Hollosy being found guilty of assault in the related incident, regarding Parker Adams, a local man that stalked the singer, photobombed him and attempted to enter his tour bus. Hollosy, who has no criminal record, punched him to prevent further trespassing. Hollosy is appealing Wynn's guilty ruling. This has created a delay in Brown's case.

CNN is reporting Brown could face another 4-5 day ride on Con Air, transporting him in shackles from Washington to Los Angeles for a probation violation hearing in the Rihanna domestic violence case. Brown was ejected from rehab over refusing to take a drug test he passed later that evening, as well as touching an employee's hand and elbow. Once the hearing is completed, Brown will likely face a second trip on Con Air, save for some change in the Washington case.

Adams was recently quoted by the ABC network stating "I'm a pawn in all of this." Under the circumstances that's an odd statement for him to make. It doesn't sound right. Who made you the "pawn." Expound on that. Are you scared to speak further on it, as it doesn't seem you are in control and considering you are the alleged victim that's weird.

When a person states they are a "pawn" or "pawn in a game" it means something conspiratorial and corrupt is afoot. The question is who is behind it, as there are discrepancies in this case that deviate from the norm. Adams also pled ignorance to the $3,000,000 figure he has sued Brown and his bodyguard for, stating he found out about it in the press. Lawyers usually inform clients what grounds they are suing under and the dollar amount, prior to filing suit.
