Rihanna and Chris Brown go to court Monday in Los Angeles, but you won't see tape. TV cameras have been banned from capturing superstar Rihanna's much-anticipated testimony at ex-boyfriend Chris Brown's assault trail. The Barbadian singer is expected to take to the stand during a preliminary hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court. And although reporters will be allowed inside to hear the proceedings, the doors will stay firmly closed to cameras. Los Angeles Criminal Court Judge Patricia Schnegg decided against allowing the showdown to be broadcast to the world. Brown, 20, faces two felony counts of assault and making criminal threats against Rihanna after a pre-Grammy party in February.
***However, if he reaches a plea agreement, the hearing would be unnecessary. Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, has previously indicated he hoped to resolve the case without public testimony. If it goes ahead, Rihanna – real name Robyn Fenty – could later be called as a witness in the high-profile trial.
