Chris Brown says he didn’t do it, and will return to court later this month to stand his ground. At an arraignment in Los Angeles Monday, the R&B star pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from an alleged attack on his girlfriend, singer Rihanna, in February. Brown entered his pleas through his attorney in Los Angeles Superior Court. After the hearing Rihanna’s attorney told reporters that Rihanna was holding out hope for a plea bargain, but said that she would testify against Brown if necessary. Brown is due back in court on April 29th for a status hearing. The 19-year-old singer is accused of attacking Rihanna during a roadside dispute in the early hours of February 8th. A photo of a bruised and battered woman, said to be Rihanna, later surfaced on the Internet. Brown is accused of assault “by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury” and of threatening to commit a crime “which could result in death and great bodily injury.” He could face up to four years in prison if convicted.
