Attorney Mark Geragos has worked miracles keeping Chris Brown out of jail over the last several years. Following Brown's arrest on Sunday in Washington, D.C., Geragos will be facing his toughest challenge yet.
Chris Brown and Mark Geragos
As we previously reported, Brown was arrested for felony assault after allegedly punching a man in the face in front on the W Hotel.
The singer, who is already on probation for assaulting Rihanna in 2009, has managed to avoid jail time since then despite highly publicized 2012 brawl with Drake in New York City and a fight in January of this year with Frank Ocean in Los Angeles. He also was involved in a May hit and run accident in L.A.
HipHollywood spoke to attorney Jamon R. Hicks of The Cochran Firm to get his opinion on what could happen to Brown following his latest run-in with the law,
"I would say that it's a strong likelihood that we will probably do some time," Hicks said. "Probably not prison time. Probably county jail time. But the fact that he's facing up to four years, I think they'll give him something. I think it's bad for a few reasons. One is it happened out of state. He went to another jurisdiction and picked up a new arrest. What's most troubling is that it's for the same type of behavior. Maybe if it was like a petty theft or something that was different they may give him some leniency. But another aggressive fight, it's not a good look for Chris Brown."
Brown is still being held in a D.C. jail pending a court hearing today.
He is due back in a Los Angeles court on November 20 to update a judge on his probation. At that time it could be revoked depending on how the case in D.C. turns out.
