Singer Chris Brown is due to appear in a Los Angeles courtroom today on allegations that he assaulted his popstar girlfriend Rihanna, despite the fact that prosecutors have yet to file charges.
According to reports, the police presented their case some weeks ago, but the prosecutors have asked for more information. A call to Mark Geragos, Brown's attorney, had still not been returned by yesterday afternoon.
Brown is free on $50,000 bail after his arrest and while the prosecutors have yet to charge him, he has to return to court as part of his bail release. The District Attorney's office has also declined to comment on when, or if, the singer would be charged for his alleged attack.
The arrest took place after officers from the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting an assault and found a woman, who had been beaten and bruised in Hancock Park, next to Brown's rented car. However, Rihanna has never been formally identified by the police though she was treated after the incident.
According to TMZ, Mr Geragos is trying to negotiate a possible plea deal with the DA to keep Brown out of jail. Brown has declined to comment on the case beyond his statement on Feb 15 that he was saddened "over what transpired."
Jane Robison, the spokeswoman for the District Attorney's office, said that Brown is required to appear based on a date that was scheduled after his arrest on February 8th.
