May 7 2009Chris Brown's lawyer moves towards dismissal
No wonder Rihanna fled the West Coast. Chris Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos filed his motion yesterday seeking internal LAPD documents about the leaked photo of a battered Rihanna. He hopes to prove misconduct by the LAPD and get Chris Brown's assault charges completely dropped. Radar Online reports:
Geragos states, "I'm informed and believe that on or about February 19, 2009, a photograph taken by the LAPD depicting physical injuries on Ms. Fenty's person was illegally leaked to the media. Specifically, I am informed and believe that this highly prejudicial photograph was sold by an LAPD officer to the entertainment website, TMZ. The photograph was immediately viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers and was displayed on every news channel for several weeks. In fact, the photograph still remains on the TMZ website. The purpose of the leak was necessarily for profit and to vilify Mr. Brown and poison the potential jury pool."
Geragos further states "If the instant motion reveals evidence of dishonest conduct on any of these officers' part, I intend to use such evidence at the preliminary hearing to attack their credibility. The defense intends to prove and argue that the afore-mentioned officers are not credible and that the Court should not believe any or all of their testimony. If the Court does not believe these statements, I believe there is a reasonable likelihood that the case will be dismissed at the preliminary hearing."
Geragos goes on to say, "In this case specifically, the leaking of a photograph (whether for profit or not) of a complaining witness violates a variety of criminal and regulatory prohibitions. In and of itself these actions would not only constitute demonstratable bias on the part of the involved officers but could potentially be the basis for a Motion to Dismiss Outrageous Governmental Misconduct."
For brevity's sake, let me sum up the most important part of this post: Rihanna's cleavage. Some stuff might have just happened about Chris Brown's high-priced lawyer getting another celebrity off the hook, but seriously, look at that outfit. I'm a journalist, so trust me, that's the real story here. Wolf Blitzer is stroking his beard in agreement.

Chris Brown is still a piece of shit. The fact that the picture was leaked to the media doesn't change the fact that he beat Rihanna. He's a fucking coward piece of shit and should rot in jail.

Agreed. Absolute BS, just because a cop went crooked for $ doesn't change the fact that this particular creep abused this particular woman.

I can't believe this talentless jackass is actually trying to escape punishment for what he clearly did. Maybe if he had taken responsibility and allowed himself to be punished as he deserves, he might have a career left. No one wants a love song crooned to them by an unrepentant woman beater! What a douche!

Christ! Does this woman go anywhere/do anything without a "phone" in her left hand? Maybe its me...Britney does the same thing (plus a cup of coffee).

Chris Brown is well on his way to becoming another O.J. Simpson. He obviously understands that the only reason the bitch steps out of line is that she hasn't been beaten unconscious lately.

This is pretty much the worst defense ever. This lawyer is grasping at straws and if the case is dismissed because the photo was leaked, it will be an embarrassment to our judicial system. The fact that it was leaked still doesnt change the fact that oh i dunno, Chris Brown kicked Rhianna's ass. What the fuck were the polive going to say in their testimonies that would have had any bearing on the case? Yes i saw the picture with my own eyes your honor, he definitely did it. WTF?

Hmm..I wonder what that lawyer would think if it was his daughter that got the sh*t beat out of her and the f*ucking piece of SH*T that DEFINITELY DID IT was going to get off because of a technicality!
That BULLSH*T right there is what is wrong with this country! There are innocent people sitting in prisons all over America and guilty garbage like Chris "I'm a woman beating f*cktard" Brown walks away scott free smiling at the cameras because he has money! F*CK YOU CHRIS BROWN!

What would the lawyer think? He'd think "Oh boy! Here comes another big payday!"

The case is not going to be dismissed because a photo is leaked. This wreaks of desperation.

And people think courts are biased *toward* women? When a-holes likes Chris Brown get to walk free on technicalities, or less?
