A court hearing is scheduled for today in the Chris
Brown assault trial, regarding Park Adams, who filed a police
complaint against the 24-year-old singer in Washington, though he
claims the star did not hit him. Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos is
attempting to have the case dismissed, citing prosecutorial
misconduct, regarding the misuse of a grand jury. Brown was in jail
for two week in Los Angeles and is in the process of being
extradited to Washington, which entails a 4-day plane ride to the
nation’s capitol.
Today’s hearing is pivotal, as it will set the tone
of the case via dismissal or proceeding to trial on April 17, 2014.
If a dismissal or settlement is not achieved, Brown risks 4-years in
jail and a potential shift to prison if the charges are elevated
from misdemeanor to felony assault, impacting his probation from the
Rihanna domestic violence case.
