Last attempt to postpone Chris Brown court hearing fails

Chris Brown's lawyers have failed to postpone his preliminary hearing over the alleged assault of Rihanna, with the hearing due in court on Monday.

Talking of Rihanna having to testify at the Chris Brown case, his lawyers have failed again to have that prelim hearing into his assault case postponed.

As previously reported, previous attempts by Brown's celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos to have the prelim pushed back failed, but he took the matter all the way to the California Supreme Court. But they turned down his request too. There are some police files relating to the case that Geragos is still waiting for, and he argued that the prelim hearing shouldn't take place before he'd had chance to review those documents.

But having failed to win that argument, Brown is now due in court on Monday, where it will be decided whether there is a good enough case against the singer to proceed with action against him. He, of course, is accused of beating up his then girlfriend Rihanna in the street after the couple had an argument after a pre-Grammy party.
