Chris Brown pleaded not guilty to two felony counts at a Los Angeles courtroom last night.
Brown was charged with assault and making criminal threats to his then girlfriend Rihanna on February 8th ahead of the Grammy Awards, which both stars missed.Much speculation has surrounded the case so far, and now, Brown is saying he is not guilty of what he's been accused of.
After Brown entered his plea, the judge said that the singer's preliminary hearing would be delayed from April 15th to April 29th, with the defence being given more time to work out a plea bargain, Rolling Stone reports.
Rihanna's lawyer Donald Etra said that his client hoped that the case would not go to trial and that a settlement with the court would be reached instead. "She wants this to be over quickly," he said at a press conference. Yesterday, it emerged that US radio stations had playlisted a new song that is critical of Brown.
