Chris Brown’s Case: “They don’t want to mess it up.”
The LAPD and the District Attorney’s Office don’t want to make anymore mistakes and are being very careful handling Chris Brown’s assault case.
An initial arraignment date was set for March 5 following his arrest earlier this month for his altercation with Rihanna. But that court appearance “may not happen,” Los Angeles district attorney spokeswoman Jane Robison tells E! News.
“We don’t have the evidence yet. [Los Angeles police detectives] are still investigating,” says Robison, who doesn’t expect her office to receive the case until at least next week.
“If [detectives] determine they need more time they’ll set a new date for him to come into court,” says Robison.
Once the LAPD finishes its investigation and presents the D.A. with the evidence, Robison says prosecutors must decide whether to file felony charges, reject the charges if the evidence is insufficient, or refer the case to the city attorney’s office if they decide the behavior was simply a misdemeanor violation.
Depending on the decision, Brown may not even have to appear in court. “He only has to come back if and when we file charges,” says Robison.
On Wednesday, an LAPD source also told E! News, “The D.A. is being even more thorough than usual with this case. They don’t want to mess it up.”
Chris Brown is said to be taking anger management classes and may be cut from the promotions for his upcoming film with T.I. Bone Deep.
And the bad news keeps rolling in for CB as Sacramento’s 103.5 The BOMB will remove his songs from rotation…
But I tell you what! XM/Sirius is still spinning his tunes, I heard about 17 songs with him in my four hour drive Tuesday.

Yeah Rih’s not pressing charges, probably because she’s at fault too. I say the DA drops it, they both get counseling and hopefully learn a lesson and they both continue their lives.
A Top 40 station here has suspended his music temporarily, so I wrote them a nicety, but professional email alerting them that I would permanently be suspending listening.
lmao! I would do that too… crucifying that boy before anyone really knows what happened.
