Welp, remember when I said that Chris Brown was the new O.J., looks like that comparison is becoming true.
Basically, I believe there was an underlying belief that O.J. Simpson got away with murder and because of that, there was an overwhelming desire for him to pay in some way nevermind the form.
Exhibit A – Chris Breezy. Many people think that he got away scott free with assaulting Rihanna. And just like O.J., there’s a large group of people who want him to do some time and this is it. He’s paying that old debt.
Yesterday, Chris’ trial was postponed again and a Los Angeles judge refused a request to free the singer from custody to make his own way back to Cali from Washington. According to reports, he must return to California the same way he got to Washington, D.C. — in chains on the grueling “Con Air” inmate transport system.
As we all know Breezy has been on probation since 2009 when he pleaded guilty to a felony assault charge in the beating of his then-girlfriend Rihanna Fenty.
He and bodyguard Christopher Hollosy were arrested on assault charges in Washington for allegedly beating a man who tried to take a photo of Brown last December.
The arrest led to a revocation of Breezy’s probation, but he was allowed to enter a rehab program instead of going to jail. He was ordered to jail last month when he was kicked out of the rehab program for rules violations.
He has been locked up for 39 days and still has not had a probation revocation hearing according to attorney Robert Kalunian.
However, Assistant District Attorney Mary Murray said she “strenuously” opposed releasing Brown now, arguing the only change since Brown was jailed in March is that his case has “gotten worse.”
D.C. Superior Court Judge A. Franklin Burgess Jr. set a status hearing in Brown’s case for June 25, the same day his bodyguard Chris Hollosy is scheduled to be sentenced. Both men are expected to attend that day.
Brown’s case in Washington is significant for the Grammy winner because if he is convicted he could face additional penalties, including jail time, as a result of an earlier case from California.
The delay in Brown’s Washington trial came after prosecutors refused to grant immunity to Hollosy so he could testify without jeopardizing his own case. On Monday, Hollosy was found guilty of assaulting a man on a Washington sidewalk before Brown’s trial was to begin in the case.
The prosecutors cited Hollosy’s refusal to talk to them about his testimony as a major reason for the decision not to grant immunity. Their motion also said they suspected he might lie in his testimony to help Brown.
