Rihanna Will Testify
Finally, after months of speculation and drama, the world will hear Rihanna recount the horrific events on the eve of the Grammy Awards that led to the arrest of her then-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown. People magazine reports Rihanna was personally subpoenaed with papers to testify in court. Her answers will establish whether the case will go to trial. On February 8, Brown allegedly attacked Rihanna, and he has pleaded not guilty to two felony counts. Brown’s attorney will be able to cross-examine Rihanna, whose testimony “can make or break the case,” according to one defense attorney. The hearing is far from certain, though, as a plea deal could end the case at any time.
