Rihanna BrownRihannasAttorney.jpgIs Rihanna trying to help Chris Brown get out of any serious trouble for allegedly beating her, choking her, and trying to throw her out of a car???

According to Extra!, during yesterday's arraignment, Rihanna's attorney Donald Etra was standing next to Brown and his attorney Mark Geragos. Right after the hearing was over, Etra was heard telling Brown, "I think Rihanna would like this over as quickly as possible. It benefits everybody."

Brown's attorney then said to Chris, "I've explained it to you that the best thing that could happen in this case is that [Rihanna's attorney, Donald Etra] is involved. Didn't I tell you that?"

Etra replied, "And I would say to you that the best thing to you is that Mark [Geragos] is involved."

So what's going on here, don't you think its a little strange for an alleged victim's attorney to be working the defense to get this case over "as quickly as possible???"
