CHRIHANNA UPDATE: RIH HASN'T PRESSED CHARGES; COURT DATE DELAYED
Here’s the latest in the Chrihanna Assault Case Scandal. As it stands right now, Rihanna hasn’t pressed charges against Chris Brown and the court date for the case has been delayed. Continue reading for the full scoop.
According to THEYBF:
In Touch has confirmed that Rihanna has not pressed charges against her alleged attacker, Chris Brown, as of now:
“We do not have enough evidence and there have been no charges filed on the Chris Brown case,” a spokesperson in the Los Angeles DA’s office tells In Touch. But Chris is not necessarily out of hot water, even if Rihanna never files charges. “If the state gathers up enough evidence, we will press charges with or without her testifying. It is not up to the victim.” With a March 5 arraignment date set in LA for Chris, 19, In Touch has also learned that Rihanna does not have to make an appearance at the courthouse. “She will not have to show up during the arraignment,” the spokesperson says.
LAPD says that they need more evidence before taking their case against Chris Brown to court. According to DREW REPORTS:
Chris Brown court appearance over his alleged fight with girlfriend Rihanna could be postponed so police can gather more evidence, according to the Los Angeles district attorney. Brown was arrested and charged following an alleged attack on the “Umbrella” hitmaker after a pre-Grammys party on Feb. 8. Brown was freed on $50,000 bail following the incident and is facing charges of making criminal threats. He is due in court in L.A. on March 5. for an arraignment hearing, but that date may have to be pushed back, while the police strengthen their case against the star. A statement from Los Angeles district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison reads, “We don’t have the evidence yet. (Los Angeles police detectives) are still investigating. If (detectives) determine they need more time they’ll set a new date for him (Brown) to come into court. “He only has to come back if and when we file charges.” As far as Rihanna, the New York Daily News reported that the star is enjoying a sunshine break in a private beachside villa in Punta Mita, Mexico.
