Famous Barbadian singer Rihanna was subpoenaed by Los Angeles prosecutors to testify against her ex-boyfriend Chris Brown in the Superior Court for the June 22 hearing of the latter's assault case.
Donald Etra, Rihanna's lawyer, said, "Rihanna was served at my office by L.A. 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."
Jeffery Rubenstein, L.A. criminal defense attorney, shared his thoughts regarding the songstress' appearance in court saying, "Rihanna's testimony can make or break the case. Her willingness to testify and be truthful about what happened is a step closer to convicting Brown. On the other hand, if prosecutors fail to present a case, Geragos can seek to dismiss or reduce the charges on the spot."
