Chris Brown
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.
