'He poses an increasingly violent danger to society': Prosecutor tries to have Chris Brown thrown in jail but he got saved by REHAB!
Chris Brown won’t be going to jail over alleged altercation with a man in Washington DC last October because Rehab saved his sorry a** in court yesterday. Even though reports claim the prosecutor badly needed the singer to be locked up, he was freed on a condition that he stays in the facility despite he’s also been charged for violence at the centre.
The singer, who is still on probation over the 2009 beating he gave then girlfriend Rihanna, received his good news when he attended a court hearing in Downtown Los Angeles on Monday, along with his girlfriend Karrueche Tran.
According to the Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin, his continued good behavior and progress in a rehabilitation programme are good enough reasons for turning down the prosecution's motion for jail time. Deputy District Attorney Mary Murrah had called for the 24 year old singer to be locked up plus have a full probation violation hearing. In a written motion she said 'he continues to pose an increasingly violent danger to society,' citing the D.C. case and an incident in which Brown threw a brick through his mother's car window after a therapy session.
However the R'n'B star's attorney Mark Geragos claimed the only changes in his behaviour since a December hearing were positive. He also argued the court should wait to see how the D.C case is resolved before having an evidentiary hearing.
Brown's lawyers have said the singer is not guilty and rejected a plea deal, with the case due to be heard again on February 20
