Rihanna subpoenaed to testify at Brown’s prelim hearing
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 12 June 2009
Rihanna’s lawyer has confirmed she has been subpoenaed to testify at her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown’s assault case.
Donald Etra told reporters yesterday that the court papers had arrived on Tuesday. She has been told to report to court to testify on 22 Jun, at the previously reported prelim hearing that Brown’s lawyers failed to get postponed. As also previously reported, Etra had previously said Rihanna was willing to testify in Brown’s case if asked to do so. Brown, of course, is accused of beating Rihanna to a pulp after the then couple fell out following a pre-Grammy party.
Etra has told People magazine: “Rihanna was served [the subpoena] at my office by LA DA investigators. If the preliminary hearing indeed goes forward, she is now legally required to be there, she will be there, and will answer all questions truthfully”.
