CHRIS BROWN WANTS CASE DISMISSED

So Breezy has managed to dodge a bullet once again. Just call him R. Kelly.....

Mark Geragos, the attorney representing Chris Brown in his felony assault case, told reporters outside of a Los Angeles courthouse today 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.

The "leaks" the lawyer was referring to include the widely circulated police photo of Rihanna that showed the starlet badly bruised and suffering from a number of scratches. Geragos will file a motion regarding the photo, as well as "several other incidents of leaks about the case." When the photo first appeared on TMZ in February, the Los Angeles Police Department announced it would conduct an investigation into the leak, but no findings in the matter have been announced as of press time.

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. Without much objection from prosecutors, the judge scheduled a new hearing for May 28.

The stipulated date could help speed up a possible plea-deal negation. Brown's attorney and the L.A. County District Attorney's office have reportedly been working on striking a deal.

The judge also ruled to release Rihanna's jewelry on Wednesday. Her 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.

GV Says: I lose more and more respect for Breezy as time passes with this case. Help me get this right....You beat the girl down to the white meat, then you have the nerve to want to get off because the world has seen what you're capable of. It's so crazy to me how this brother does not want to pay the piper, face the music, take ownership for his drama. And again, Tyra made a great point when Oprah did the Chrihanna special. The whole jist of this case and outrage comes from the fact that excessive force was used on the girl. We're not talking mutual fight. We're saying that an excessive - or criminal amount - of force was used and the proof of the comes via the photos.
