DA: Rihanna Is a “Cooperating Victim” in Chris Brown Case
The Los Angeles County District Attorney denies that Rihanna is no longer cooperating in the Chris Brown case.
“We deal with her attorney who says she is a cooperating victim,” L.A. County D.A. spokesperson Sandi Gibbons tells Usmagazine.com.
According to FoxNews.com, the “Umbrella” singer “wants the whole thing” to go away and isn’t helping the D.A. prepare his case against Brown for allegedly assaulting her Feb. 8 — hours before both were scheduled to attend the Grammys.
Adds her lawyer, Donald Etra: “She will do everything that the law requires her to do…nothing has changed.”
However, even without Rihanna’s cooperation, the case will still go forward on the basis of her detailed statement to police hours after the attack and the graphic photos.
Brown — who, like Rihanna, did not attend this weekend’s Kids’ Choice Awards — is due in court to be arraigned on two felonies April 6.
