Why Did Chris Brown Request A Continuance?
Posted on Thu Mar 5th, 2009 5:00pm PDT By X17 Staff
Chris Brown made his first appearance in court today! But that's only because he had to, people.
The singer, charged with two felonies - assault and making criminal threats (against g/f Rihanna) - arrived at the LA Superior Court downtown this afternoon for his 3:30 pm scheduled arraignment hearing.
Dressed in a gray suit and swarmed by crowds of photogs and onlookers, Chris entered the court room looking stoic.
He and attorney Mark Geragos did not enter a plea - instead they asked the judge to postpone the arraignment until April 6th and the judge allowed it.
Additionally, the judge ordered Brown "not to annoy, harass, threaten or commit violence against anyone." Also present was Rihanna's attorney, who did not request a "no-contact" order - which means both singers are still legally allowed to see each other.
What do you think about all this? What's the point in delaying the proceedings for one month? Could it be that Brown's legal team just doesn't know how to defend their client?
