Today, singer Chris Brown stood before a judge concerning his alleged assault against Feb 8th with girlfriend Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty. According to TMZ.com, the session took roughly 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

In court, Brown and his attorney Mark Geragos did not enter a plea to the two felony charges he is facing. According to CNN, authorities have charged Brown with felony counts of assault and making criminal threats. If he is convicted, his punishment ranges from probation to four years and eight months in prison. 

While in court, the judge granted the pop singer’s request to move the arraignment to April 6th. Someone tell me why. While in court, Brown also signed a waiver of presence….This document  allows his lawyer to act on his behalf… meaning that he will not have to show up to any minor court proceedings before April.

The judge did give the Brown the command that “You are not to annoy, harass, molest, threaten or use force or violence against anyone.”

I was able to read the police’s report of what happened to Rihanna that unfortunate night. It is graphic.

Here is the police report:

I know that I am supposed to stay professional…but…..I was shocked and disgusted…
People joke around and say, Rihanna angered him and made him hit her. Rihanna should have hit him back. Rihanna should have jumped out of the car. Rihanna is a softie. I disagree with all of these statements. Even if Brown did anger Rihanna, he did not have to go as far as to hit her repeatedly. He did not have to lose control of his anger. Rihanna fighting back would have been ideal, but she was probably in pain and in shock. Do you know what it is like to be a young woman and have a male yelling over you? I have been in that situation (verbal) and it is intimadating. You want to step back and protect yourself but your feet can barely move. Rihanna did everything but jump out of the car- she tried to call someone twice, gauge out his eyes and curled into the fedal position to protect herself. It is very scary when you are up against a man who is stronger than you I myself was scared and shocked. To have someone you love and trusted standing over you cussing you out…….I can barely imagine what Rihanna went through to have it turn violent. This a serious matter.

“Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired. I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones and I am committed, with God’s help, to emerging a better person…..Much of what has been speculated or reported on blogs and-or reported in the media is wrong.”

Chris Brown finally made a statement about the assault charges made against him earlier this month. Many media outlets have made statements about the case as though they actually knew what had happened. Brown remaining silent opened the flood gates for rumors. Fans and fellow celebrities have also probed from Brown to speak out. Still, I cannot slander Brown for remaining mute.

Though we all feel as though we know Chris Maurice Brown, the truth is that we do not. Brown does not belong to us. He is his own person. And at the moment, he is a person who is at the mercy of the law. Not at the mercy of  record sells or concert attendance……but the law. His lawyers may have advised him not to disclose what happened that tragic night. I don’t blame them. This is a serious matter. Any other defendant would need to stay quiet about a case. Brown needs to take this time to get his words for the court in order.

Not reporters.
