Chris Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins and the singer’s
girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, made an appearance at his assault trial
in Washington, DC on Friday. Both women and Brown’s aunt looked sad
entering the courthouse, as Brown is currently incarcerated and has
been for the past six weeks.
The singer is not doing well behind bars, over a
case that has a number of discrepancies, as well as an accompanying
$3,000,000 cash grab of a lawsuit filed by Parker Adams. Brown was
stalked to his tour bus by Adams who photobombed him, then tried to
board the crooner’s tour bus, also known as trespassing.
Chris Brown's October 2013 mug shot
Adams first accused Brown’s bodyguard Brian Hollosy
of punching him in the face. Then he said it was Hollosy and Brown
that punched him. The police report was changed as a result, which
Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos naturally took exception to, as it
indicates fraud on the alleged victim’s part. Changing his story is
reminiscent of this scene in “Rush Hour” where Chris Tucker‘s
character James Carter wasn‘t sure who kicked him (kidding).

Brown’s trial is expected to wrap up today. If the
case, which is based on hearsay, is resolved in his favor, Brown
will be free of all penalties in Washington. If he is convicted,
Brown faces 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine. Brown must also face
Judge James Brandlin in Los Angeles, as the Washington case trigged
a probation violation from the 2009 Rihanna domestic violence case.
