Brown Lawyer Pursues Leaker

Geragos plans to mine internal police records for evidence

Share

(Newser) – Attempting to learn how TMZ got a photo of Rihanna’s bruised face, Chris Brown’s lawyer filed two motions yesterday asking for internal police records, the New York Daily News reports. The LAPD is still probing the leak internally, but lawyer Mark Geragos is due back in court May 28; if he has uncovered evidence of misconduct, he could ask for the case to be dismissed.

Maybe I'm stupid but, How does a leak with these pictures make Chris Brown any less guilty of beating the crap out of Rihanna. Just brush it aside and maybe the next time he will kill her !!!!!!!!!! Reply

If she wouldn't slap on or hit on a kid who himself was traumatized by domestic violence during his childhood - I'm sure she wouldn't have to be hit ever again. And it's the most ridiculous assumption in the world that I'm constantly hearing that if you hit someone once, you will later 'kill them', There are no stats to back that up. Why is it that none of you nor the media was up in arms over domestic abuse done by Charlie Sheen, Christian Slater, Jack Nicholson, Rob Lowe, Josh Brolin, WIlliam Shatner,David Hasselhoff; Billy Bob Thorton; Richard Hatch; Ozzy Osbourne; Sean Penn;Yanni; Bary Busey; James Caan; Glen Campbell; Eric Roberts; Axl Rose; Mickey Rourke; Steven Seagal ; Paul Gascoigne; Larry Fitzgerald; Santonio Holmes; Tommy Lee; Chris Noth; Vanilla Ice; Rob Lowe ??All who committed serious abuse against their mates. But most of whose cases were 'swept' under the rug and definitely not front page news all over the world. Can someone please tell me why that is???Please why this big of a deal over a 19 year old kid, but not about the adult men I mentioned earlier. Reply
