On Monday, Rihanna will appear in court to testify against Chris Brown, who allegedly beat her four months ago. Her testimony will be one of the main factors that will determine whether there is enough evidence for Chris Brown’s case to be brought to trial. Chris Brown is going to be present in court during Rihanna’s testimony.
According to Rihanna’s lawyer, the singer will tell the truth when questioned. It is expected that she will be on the stand for about two hours. This time frame includes the cross-examination by Rihanna’s attorney. Cameras are not going to be permitted in the courtroom, so you will not be able to see what exactly happens with Rihanna’s testimony. It is expected that you will be hearing very much about it, however.
It is possible that Rihanna could refuse to testify in this case. Although she has been subpoenaed, this means that she is only required to appear in court. She can refuse to take the stand against Chris Brown. There is also a possibility that prosecutors may make a last minute decision to not call her as a witness, which is unlikely given that her testimony is so important in terms of bringing Chris Brown to trial. Many are not taking this crime lightly, and would like to see the singer convicted of the crimes that he may have committed.
Will we hear what exactly happened on the night that Chris Brown allegedly assaulted Rihanna? After all, rumors have been that Rihanna hit him first. According to People News, the police report says the incident began over a text message that Chris Brown had received from a previous lover.
Rumors have been that Chris Brown and Rihanna are still together. However, no one really knows for sure. Both singers have been spotted with other people since the incident occurred, but immediately after it was believed that they had reconciled. Some internet sources even claimed that Rihanna and Chris Brown had been married at that time, which seems to be untrue. They did spend some time together at singer Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ home to work out their problems alone, without being watched by the Paparazzi shortly after the incident occurred.
No matter what happens, it certainly seems that Rihanna’s testimony will play a major role in how far this case goes. Will she choose to testify or will she choose to be loyal to Chris Brown instead? Even if she does choose to testify, there is a good chance that the case can end very quickly if Chris Brown chooses to make a plea bargain. On the other hand, there are many different types of legal actions and requests that could prolong the case for quite some time.
