Rihanna Won't Testify in Court Against Chris Brown

There are new developments in the Chris Brown case. There was some uncertainty about whether or not Rihanna would testify against Brown in court, but sources close to the case say it's highly unlikely.

During Brown's court hearing on March 5, 2009 Rihanna's lawyer, Donald Etra, told reporters, "She is planning to do everything that the law requires her to do," Etra said in a statement to the media.

"If she's required to. "She is planning to do everything that the law requires her to do," Etra said in a statement to the media. "If she is required to testify, she will do so."

Now sources close to the case say Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, wants the judge to give Rihanna a pass from testifying because of all the leaks in the case.

Both Geragos and Etra believe the leaks were a violation of her privacy rights and therefore she should not have to testify, reports TMZ.

Geragos already requested an unscheduled hearing on March 23rd, which will take place in Judge Schnegg’s chambers. His arraignment is set for April 6th.

FIRST OFF IM A BIG CHRIS BROWN FAN THATS WHY I CREATED THIS PAGE 2ND I WAS BORN WITH THE GIFT TO KNOW AND SEE THINGS BEFORE IT HAPPEN, (NO JOKE) IM DEAD SERIOUS, AND I DONT FEEL THAT ALL IS BEING SAID IS TRUE, AND I BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE STUFF IS BEING LEFT OUT. OK I JUST SAW THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW WITH DIDDY ON THERE TALKN ABOUT CHRIS BROWN AND RIHANNA INCIDENT . AND HE WAS TALKING ABOUT TWITTER AND SHE JUMPED IN AT THE END AND SAID OK WELL SINCE YOU LIKE CLEARING UP STUFF ON TWITTER , HOW ABOUT CLEARING UP SOMETHING FOR ME AND HE SAID OK. HE SEEMED MADDER AND MADDER AS MORE AND MORE OF THE QUESTION WAS COMING UP. I LOVE THE WAY HE PUT IT , HE SAID WE NEED TO STOP CASTING STONES ON CHRIS AND RIHANNA BECAUSE NEITHER OF US KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED THAT NIGHT IN THAT CAR, HE SHOULDNT HIT HER AND SHE SHOULDNT HIT HIM, SO DIDDY IS CLEARIFYING THAT THEY BOTH HIT EACH OTHER. AND OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE TOLD HIM WHAT HAPPENED AND BECAUSE CHRIS CANT REALLY COME OUT AND TELL US WHATS UP DIDDY CAME OUT AND TOLD HIS SIDE OF WHY HE LENDED THE HOUSE OUT AND GAVE A PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT PEOPLE NEEDED TO KNOW AND HEAR. BECAUSE EVERYONE IS CASTING SO MANY STONES AGAINST CHRIS. AND HE RIGHT WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND PEOPLE SHOULDNT JUST JUMP OUT AND JUDGE CHRIS NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. NO HE SHOULDNT HAVE HIT HER BUT AT THE SAMETIME SHE SHOULDNT HIT HIM. AND THEIR PRIVATE LIFE SHOULDNT BE JUDGED WITH THEIR CAREER AND ITS A SHAME IT IS. THEY ARE HUMAN JUST LIKE US AND THEY WILL MAKE MISTAKES. JUST PRAY FOR THEM. AND THOUGH EVERYONE IS SAYING YEA I UNDERSTAND WHEN SOMEONE HIT YOU AND YOU HIT THEM BACK BUT CHRIS WENT OVERBOARD, HOW DO WE KNOW HE WENT OVERBOARD, OK I SEE THE PICTURES BUT HOW YOU KNOW THEY HAVED BEEN ALTERED? AND EVEN MORE LOOK WHOS PUTTING ALL THE PICTURES AND POLICE REPORTS AND RUMORS AND LIES OUT , THE SAME WEBSITE IS DOING ALL OF THIS AND THE OTHERS ARE HEARING IT AND JUST POSTING IT BECAUSE THEY THINKING ITS TRUE, BUT COME TO FIND OUT THIS WEBSITE IS DOING ALOT OF LYING JUST TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF STORY CAUSE THEY REALLY DONT HAVE ONE AND NEITHER DOES THE OTHERS, SO BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE 2 INVOLVED IN THE SITUATION IS BIG TIME CELEBS. THEY GOING TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR A BUNCH OF BULL CRAP, AND ITS SICK AND I CANT BELIEVE THE SO CALLED 100% FANS JUST TURNING THEIR BACK ON HIM WITHOUT KNOWING THE FULL TRUTH. (TMZ) IS PUTTING OUT A BUNCH OF LIES AND RUMORS AND THEY PUT THEM OUT THEN NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT ISNT TRUE A DAY OR 2 LATER, IT COMES OUT TO NOT BE A TRUE STATEMENT. BUT GUESS WHAT WE ALREADY DONE JUDGED CHRIS EVEN MORE WHEN WE FIRST HEARD IT SO WE CANT TAKE IT BACK. STOP LISTENING TO TMZ IT IS FULL OF S**T. THEY HAVE NO TRUE EVIDENCE. YES I THINK THEY GOT HOLD OF HER PICTURE BUT DO I THINK THEY ALTERED IT YES I DO, CAUSE THEY HAD TO BACK UP WHAT THEY ALREADY HAD SAID SHE HAD CONTUSTIONS ON EACH SIDE OF HER FACE AND A BUSTED LIP, O YEA I THINK THEY ALTERED IT CAUSE THEY THE ONES STARTED THE RUMOR OF WHAT SUPPOSLY HAPPENED, THEY HAD TO BACK UP THAT RUMOR. AND NOW WE FINDING OUT THAT THE POLICE REPORT WAS LEAKED , HER STATEMENT, COME ONE NOW IF HERS WAS LEAKED WHY DIDNT THEY LEAK CHRIS STATEMENT, SO AGAIN WE HEARING ONE SIDE OF THE STORY, PEOPLE GET IT TOGETHER AND STOP LISTENING TO THIS CRAP. LIES LIES LIES. I BELIEVE THEY BOTH WERE FIGHTING EACH OTHER THE WHOLE TIME BUT CHRIS GOT THE BEST OF HER. CAUSE OF HIS BACKGROUND SELF DEFENSE. IT SEEMS TO ME RIHANNA STARTED SOMETHING SHE COULDNT FINISH. AND JUST LIKE DIDDY SAID (PEOPLE NEED TO BE HONEST WITH THEMSELVES, AND WHATS GOIN ON CAUSE SITUATIONS DONT GET BLOWN OUT UNTIL IT FINALLY GETS BAD,LIKE THIS ONE) SO IT SEEM TO ME THAT RIHANNA AND CHRIS ARE ALWAYS FIGHTING OR HAVE FOUGHT BEFORE BUT IT WASNT AS BAD AS THIS ONE , BUT IT SEEM THAT ITS GOING BOTH WAYS THEY ARE FIGHTING EACH OTHER. DO I REALLY THINK THAT CHRIS HIT HER FIRST WHEN THEY FIGHT (NO) , IM SORRY PEOPLE BUT I CANT BRING MYSELF TO SEE THAT. OR DIDDY SAYING THAT COULD MEAN THAT RIHANNA ALWAYS HITTING ON CHRIS AND NOW HE RESPONDED AND WHEN HE RESPONDED THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. YOU ALL THINK ABOUT AND PRAY ABOUT AND WHY YOU ARE PRAYING ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS FOR JUDGING PEOPLE. CAUSE WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE SOMEONE LIKE WE ARE PERFECT COME ONE . AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST ELLEN IS GAY I USE TO BE GAY , AND IN LESBIAN RELATIONSHIPS THERE IS CONSTANT FIGHTING SO ELLEN NEED TO SHUT UP CAUSE IM SURE HER AND HER GIRL FIGHT IT JUST HAVENT GOT OUT , AND IM SURE ELLEN HITS BACK IF SHE DONT SHE IS A FOOL. TO WOMEN CANNOT BE TOGETHER AND NOT FIGHT IM SORRY IT AINT GOING TO HAPPEN. YES RIHANNA IS A GIRL AND CHRIS IS THE BOY BUT RIHANNA SHOULDNT HAVE HIT HIM IM SORRY SHE STEPPED OUT OF CHARACTER AND GOT HER A** WHIPPED. SO BE IT . AND FOR THE RECORD YES CHRIS DID HAVE BRUISES , IF YOU READ WHAT THE DEPTY ON DUTY SAID HIS INJURIES WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO HERS. O WELL I GUESS NOT BECAUSE HE HAD TO TURN HIMSELF IN SO HE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO HOME AND CLEAN HIMSELF UP, MAYBE IF HE WOULD HAVE LEFT HIS
