In a Los Angeles court last Wednesday, Mark Geragos, the lawyer of Chris Brown, filed a request to get access to the records of LAPD, believing that the bruised photo of Rihanna was "illegally leaked to the media" by the cops.
He argued, "I am informed and believe that this highly prejudicial photograph was sold by an LAPD officer to the entertainment website, TMZ. The photograph was immediately viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers and was displayed on every news channel for several weeks… The purpose of the leak was necessarily for profit and to vilify Mr. Brown and poison the potential jury pool."
If the records reveal the "dishonest conduct" of police officers, he said, "I intend to use such evidence at the preliminary hearing to attack their credibility… I believe there is a reasonable likelihood that the case will be dismissed at the preliminary hearing."
