Chris Brown‘s high-powered lawyer, Mark Geragos, told TMZ on his way out of the courtroom this morning he wants the Rihanna case against his client dismissed because of leaks in the case.
Geragos told us, “Leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regard to outrageous governmental misconduct.”
The Judge has set a date of May 28th for Brown’s preliminary hearing. Brown did not attend today’s hearing.

Will Rihanna’s leaked police photo drain the life from the prosecution’s case against Chris Brown?
If Brown attorney Mark Geragos has his way, it will.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg today set a preliminary hearing for May 28 on Brown’s double felony case—the result of Geragos pushing for as late a court date as possible to allow him adequate time to respond to the still-pending investigation into just how Rihanna’s police photo was released.
Should the gruesome photos’ appearance prove to be the result of a police transgression, Geragos told E! News that he will move to have Brown’s entire case dismissed.
“The leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regards to outrageous governmental misconduct,” Geragos said.
Neither Rihanna nor Brown were present for today’s hearing, though the “Umbrella” singer’s interests—and those of her jewelers—were represented in the courtroom.

Rihanna’s jewelry is going to be free!
As you probably know, she was wearing $1.4 mil in borrowed jewelry when she was allegedly beaten by Chris Brown. She was supposed to give it back to the jeweler a while back — but it’s been held by the cops since Brown’s arrest.
Today the judge ruled the jewels can go back to their rightful owner. The LAPD will take photos of the bling in case it’s used as evidence in the trial. But expect a plea bargain.
Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, also asked the judge to order the LAPD to turn over the investigative reports on the leaked photo.

Chris Brown is not required to attend court in Los Angeles Wednesday morning, when a preliminary hearing date will be scheduled for the embattled R&B singer.
Brown is accused of punching, choking, and biting his then-girlfriend, Robyn “Rihanna” Fenty in Los Angeles after a pre-Grammy Awards party February 8th. He is charged with felony assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats.
If the two sides fail to agree upon a deal, and the case progresses to the preliminary hearing stage, the case will be presented to a judge who will then decide if there is enough evidence to make Brown stand trial.
Rihanna’s attorney, Donald Etra, said that the “Disturbia” singer would prefer if prosecutors and Brown reach a plea agreement before a trial, but that she would testify if called upon.

Turning another page in the Chris Brown / Rihanna assault case, Brown is due to appear back in court today (April 29th) to make his first appearance since entering a plea of not guilty earlier this month.
How today’s legal proceedings unfold will largely be determined on whether or not Brown’s lawyers are able to strike a deal with the district attorney.
Some of the major factors pushing the case towards a plea deal are the fact that Chris Brown is a first-time offender with no other criminal history, and both pop superstars could do without additional shocking information being made public from the night in question.
If no plea deal is struck and the case goes to trial, Brown could face a maximum of four years and eight months in prison if he’s found guilty, according to an L.A. County District Attorney spokesman.
Brown is facing felony charges of assault and making criminal threats.

Rihanna ditched the US over a week ago for the sunny skies of Barbados where she has been spotted with the likes of Katy Perry, Beenie Man and some mystery guy. According to my reader, she has fled the country to avoid testifying against Chris Brown.
“In California, the state asks the “victim” to testify at the preliminary hearing(Wed.). The victim may not feel like testifying and if so the case is DEAD. Chris walks. Without a doubt. The court can subpoena the “victim” to testify”. But Rihanna gets the hell out of the country! US cannot serve a subpoena on someone in Barbados! Or, they can if the Bajan government has some agreement with the US but that would be overkill for this kind of case. The DA and Judge doesn’t want to get into a situation where they have to cite her for contempt and even arrest her because this is a domestic violence case and it will look like they are victimizing the victim. So what do they? THEY HOLD HER JEWELRY HOSTAGE? That’s right, Necole. In other words, if you don’t testify we’re gonna hold this 1.4M worth of jewels ’til you do. Let the jewelry companies sue you. ANd, this could also affect the quality of the plea deal because they could imply that if Chris doesn’t accept a specific plea agreement then they’re gonna hold onto the jewels even longer because they may need it for evidence in an eventual trial. Their actions implicitly suggest that they don’t have a case against Chris Brown.”
