Chris Brown Arraignment Date Moved to April

Chris Brown appeared in a Los Angeles courtroom Thursday to face charges for the alleged assault against girlfriend Rihanna.

Brown, 19, appeared somber wearing a gray suit and did not enter a plea. His lawyer, Marc Geragos' requested that the arraignment be postponed until April 6. The judge conceded but warned Brown that he was not to "annoy, harass, molest, threaten or use force or violence against anyone." The judge also asked Geragos if Rihanna requested a no-contact order against Brown. "Miss Fenty does not request such an order," he replied.

Although Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, was not in the courtroom her lawyer Donald Etra appeared on her behalf. Following the hearing Etra addressed the media ensuring reporters that Rihanna was doing well and would testify if required to do so. "She is making sure her rights are protected at every stage of the proceedings," he said. Etra went on to say that Rihanna was in agreement with the "level-one protective order" against Brown and that his fate was in the hands of the district attorney.

Brown was officially charged with felony assault and making criminal threats before appearing in court Thursday. The arraignment took place just hours before a police documents chronicling the assault was formally released to the public. According to an 11-page search warrant request and affidavit, Brown and Rihanna got into a fight following a text message he received from an unidentified woman. The two began to argue resulting in Brown banging Rihanna's head against the car window of his rented Lamborghini. Brown then attempted to push Rihanna out of the car but was unsuccessful because she was wearing her seat belt. The paperwork went on to say that Brown kicked punched and bit Rihanna as well as threatened her life. Rihanna fought back attempting to "gouge his eyes" but also reportedly lost consciousness during the scuffle.

Although the pop star has yet to publicly address the assault, her father Ronald Fenty has remained vocal. "Justice can never be served in this situation," said Fenty in an interview. "He can't feel the pain she felt." Fenty also stated that neither he nor the pop star's mother has had contact with their daughter. Fenty did however receive a text from his daughter stating that she missed him. "I don't know what to say. I've been hearing so many stories. I don't feel any pain anymore. I've gone numb. I've heard so much. But I can't get on to her. Her mother can't get on to her. Her brother told me she changed her email. Somebody has a stranglehold on her. I'm lost." Despite their lack of communication Fenty still stands behind his daughter and said that supports her decisions.

While the story of their altercation unfolds in the public eye, both Rihanna and Brown have reconciled but remain in seclusion. Early Thursday morning Brown was seen leaving Rihanna's Los Angeles home. If convicted the R&B star faces up to four years in prison.

thank you and you right woman sure do start the fight majority of the time. I agree with you , and now its coming out that she beat him with the high heel come one now she dont deserve it but she got what was coming you dont do stuff like that. And now i wonder what oprah would have to say about that she hit that man first so he did what he felt he had to do. And if a woman hit you once she will do it again if u allow her to its vice versa. And for oprah's info this fairytale stuff, love do hurt i dont know what she talkin bout or who she got loving her to say love dont hurt, she crazy love does hurt.

Both parties are equally wrong and we are quick to jump to the defense of the woman , I can look at robyn and tell she can be something to work with, but that is no reason to hit her... get out of the relationship... it is not about love its about power and control something that neither posess in reality. Both are great looking young and talented everyone is going to want to get in there pants and they should be smart enough to raelize that. if they do not get a grip they will be another O.J. and Nichole can we really use that again ... the world devided and confused all because two people could not realize that they are responsible as Artist to be an example scince the insident has happened Rhianna needs to follow through and Chris needs to move on you already know what the relation ship is about... move on or we will have a dead Rhianna and a jail bird Chris Brown condemmed to being a jail hose Bitch to some big buff dude named Bubba who will in turn beat Chris's ass do we want to see that.. I hate to be brutal but they need to hear the truth> I also believe that Wriggly'S needs to reconsider their decission, after all he is young he needs to be guided and punished not destroyed. good luck to both parties

Put his butt in prison where he belongs and then he can play tough guy all day every day. They both need counseling and they also need to find out why she had never reported the earlier beatings until now.He is definitly one sick angry person to want to mess up a face like that. But if he could scar her up then nobody would want her except him. His career should be over because nobody should support a women beater no matter what not even his sponsors. If people think what Mike Vick was bd for what he did to those dogs then what Brown did was even worse.So either Rihanna will help prosecute that punk or she will be prosecuted herself.Because there will be the next victim that he goes out with and beats and then kills all because he didn't go to prison and get the help that might have prevented it. All you have to do is look at those pictures and you will know that he will kill somebody he was real close this last time.

People ,people, listen LOVE doesn't hurt, no not by accident or any other means. NO WOMAN DESERVES TO BE HIT NOR BEATEN by any Man. Ladies it is time for you to wake up, it is sad if you think you have to stay with a man who hits you. Women love yourself more than that. Womaen you have the power to stay or go. Your family does not want to love you from the GRAVE!!! THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I MADE UP I AM A SURVIVOR THANK GOD I GOT AWAY
