Rihanna Testimony Not Needed In Chris Brown Case

Chris Brown

Legal experts have stated to Fox "we slur and defame black people" News, what I wrote as well two weeks ago, in that Rihanna is not needed to bring a case against Sony Music artist Chris Brown, regarding the physical fight they got into two weeks ago:

"While this is not a federal case, the government can sometimes go forth without the victim. They do in non-federal cases when the victim did not survive the attack or ends up in a coma." February 13, 2009

LEVIN: I think there's a third option, Greta. He clearly can't show bruises that are equivalent to hers, no doubt. He won't be able to do that. But you know -- and this is not a technical legal defense, but you know the way juries work. If he can show, essentially, mutual combat, for example, not that it's defensible legally, but if they can convince a jury that she went off and he went off and he ended up getting the better of it -- I'm not trying to justify it, but you know where I'm going here, that if he can get a jury that -- where that will resonate, you know, he might think he has a fighting chance. I'm not saying he does, I'm saying he might think that.

VAN SUSTEREN: Good choice of words, "fighting chance." All right.

LEVIN: Intentional, by the way...

VAN SUSTEREN: Is -- have they had a long-term relationship, Rihanna and Chris Brown?

LEVIN: ...But I think the fact is, with those pictures, Greta, I got to tell you, I mean, I don't think the DA is going to be stymied if she doesn't cooperate. ...

ALLRED: ...So we'll have to wait and see, if there's a trial, to find out what his defense would be. And I don't think the DA's going to file unless he thinks he can prove guilt without a reasonable doubt in this high-profile case...

VAN SUSTEREN: But the problem is -- what the problem with the prosecution had in the O.J. Simpson case was that Nicole Brown Simpson on the domestic violence simply wasn't cooperative, is that, you know -- you know, sometimes or often you know, women or men, who's ever the victim of the domestic violence, changes his or her mind and doesn't want to prosecute. And so the prosecution tries to cut a deal with -- you know, try to get, you know, something out of it, and that's why they got the plea out of O.J. on a minor offense for the beating.

Here, if Rihanna doesn't want to prosecute, the prosecutor is not likely to go forward, agree?

ALLRED: Well, I think that this district attorney -- and I do know this district attorney, Steve Cooley (ph), he feels very strongly about domestic violence, if he can prove it. And again, we don't know that that occurred in this case. And I think that they would be very supportive of the victim and work with the victim and help her to understand why it would be important for her to go forward. It is not her decision as to whether to, as you say, press charges.

VAN SUSTEREN: As a technical matter.

ALLRED: It's the decision of the district attorney. It's a decision of the district attorney. It's his decision, not hers.

VAN SUSTEREN: Yes, as a technical matter. But if she doesn't cooperate, it changes the nature of the case. But if she says, I've been beaten, I've been beaten by this person and here's the picture, that -- that certainly is a reason to go -- for a prosecutor to go forward very aggressively...
