Chris Brown had his day in court yesterday. His attorney, Mark Geragos, told reporters outside of a Los Angeles courthouse on Wednesday morning (April 29) that he wants the case dismissed entirely, due to high-level leaks in the investigation. “Leaks can form the basis for a motion to dismiss the case in regard to outrageous governmental misconduct,” Geragos said, according to E! News.

As you are aware, the leaks included the police photo of Rihanna that was circulated on the web. According to reports,  Geragos will file a motion regarding the photo, as well as “several other incidents of leaks about the case.”  Los Angeles Police Department announced it would conduct an investigation into the photo leak, but nothing was ever done.

MTV reports, Geragos appeared in court without Brown and, as expected, requested additional discovery time. The attorney claimed that evidence turned over by the LAPD still had not been presented to him, according to OK! magazine. Without much objection from prosecutors, the judge scheduled a new hearing for May 28. The judge also ruled to release Rihanna’s jewelry on Wednesday. The female singer’s attorney had requested the borrowed items, reportedly worth up to $1.4 million, that she had been wearing on the night of the incident be returned from police custody. Police will take photos of the jewelry and use the images should the evidence be needed in court.
