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.

LOS ANGELES (Associated Press) — The doctor convicted of killing Michael Jackson was released from jail Monday after serving nearly two years of a four-year sentence.
Conrad Murray was released from a downtown Los Angeles jail at 12:01 a.m., according to the sheriff's office. A change in California law allowed his incarceration time to be significantly cut down.
The former cardiologist was convicted in 2011 of causing Jackson's death in June 2009 by providing the superstar with an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid. Jackson was in the midst of preparations for a series of comeback concerts and Murray was serving as his personal physician.
Murray's prospects are uncertain: At age 60 his license to practice medicine has been suspended or revoked in three states and his face and name are well known due to his association with Jackson and his highly publicized involuntary manslaughter trial.
The former doctor is appealing his conviction, although an appeals court has questioned whether it needs to hear the case. His attorney Valerie Wass has argued that the court should not dismiss the appeal because it could alter his overall sentence and reduce some of the stigma his conviction has caused.
Despite being jailed, Murray hasn't been entirely silent. Audio recordings of his calls have been posted on celebrity website TMZ and the ex-doctor told the Today show that he cried tears of joy after a civil jury recently determined that the promoters of Jackson's comeback shows did not negligently hire Murray.
He did not, however, testify in the civil case or take the stand during his criminal trial.
Murray previously maintained clinics in Houston and Las Vegas and frequently complained about conditions in jail after his conviction. He was allowed to serve his entire sentence in a Los Angeles jail rather than a state prison due to a law aimed at easing overcrowding by shifting nonviolent offenders to local lockups.
"Dr. Murray has not received any special treatment in jail and in fact has many less privileges than most inmates because of his notoriety," Wass said in a statement earlier this year. She said he "is very much looking forward to his release and getting on with his life. However, the fact of his incarceration is increasingly difficult for him."
Jurors in a lawsuit filed by Jackson's mother against concert giant AEG Live LLC determined that the doctor was not unfit or incompetent to serve as Jackson's tour doctor earlier this month. The panel heard testimony about Jackson and Murray's relationship throughout the five-month trial, but the panel said it did not condone the physician's conduct.
"That doesn't mean we felt he was ethical," jury foreman Gregg Barden said of Murray after the AEG Live verdict.
No doctor or medical expert has condoned Murray's treatments of Jackson during either the ex-doctor's criminal case or the civil litigation. The former cardiologist told police he gave the superstar nightly doses of propofol to help him sleep but lacked the proper medical or monitoring equipment that's required to administer anesthesia.
Although widely used, propofol is intended only for surgical settings and experts have noted that its effects are not actually sleep.

Jay Z has been criticized for doing business with Barneys, a high end store that's being accused of racially profiling it's customers in New York City.
As we previously reported, a petition has been started calling for the Roc Nation CEO to cut ties with the store. Additionally Jay has been criticized on social media platforms and in the press.
The business mogul has decided that enough is enough and issued a statement on the situation via his Life+Times website.
This collaboration lives in a place of giving and is about the Foundation. I am not making a dime from this collection; I do not stand to make millions, as falsely reported. I need to make that fact crystal clear. The Shawn Carter Foundation is the beneficiary and the foundation is receiving 25% of all sales from the collaboration, 10% of all sales generated in the store on November 20th and an additional donation from Barneys. This money is going to help individuals facing socio-economic hardships to help further their education at institutions of higher learning. My idea was born out of creativity and charity… not profit.
I move and speak based on facts and not emotion. I haven’t made any comments because I am waiting on facts and the outcome of a meeting between community leaders and Barneys. Why am I being demonized, denounced and thrown on the cover of a newspaper for not speaking immediately? The negligent, erroneous reports and attacks on my character, intentions, and the spirit of this collaboration have forced me into a statement I didn’t want to make without the full facts. Making a decision prematurely to pull out of this project, wouldn’t hurt Barneys or Shawn Carter, but all the people that stand a chance at higher education. I have been working with my team ever since the situation was brought to my attention to get to the bottom of these incidents and at the same time find a solution that doesn’t harm all those that stand to benefit from this collaboration.
I am against discrimination of any kind, but if I make snap judgements, no matter who it’s towards, aren’t I committing the same sin as someone who profiles? I am no stranger to being profiled and I truly empathize with anyone that has been put in that position. Hopefully this brings forth a dialogue to effect real change. – Shawn “JAY Z” Carter

"A lot of people, they be taking it the wrong way. Me and Kendrick we cool guys really," Meek said. "When I see Kendrick we laugh and smile about it. I was just talking about I'mma show you who the king around this area. No negative stuff, straight hip hop."

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Authorities in Muslim-majority Malaysia have banned a planned concert by U.S. pop singer Ke$ha after deciding it would hurt cultural and religious sensitivities.
Concert organizer Livescape said it received a letter about the decision on the eve of the show that was to be held Saturday at a Kuala Lumpur stadium.
The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia said separately that it was rejecting the application for Ke$ha to perform for reasons of religion and culture.
The ministry's statement did not elaborate. Ke$ha, whose hits include "Tik Tok" and "Die Young," has songs that make explicit references to sex and liquor.
Last month, Malaysian officials also barred a performance by American metal band Lamb of God, accusing the Grammy-nominated group's work of being blasphemous.
Ke$ha and her team had previously agreed to modify their planned show in Malaysia, including making changes to her song lyrics and wardrobe, to comply with the government's general guidelines for performers, Livescape said in its statement.
Livescape said it was losing more than 1.1 million ringgit ($350,000) because of the ban. It urged the Malaysian government to "engage in a productive dialogue" with concert promoters to prevent similar incidents.

The Reverend Al Sharpton has jumped right into the middle of the Barneys controversy. The retailer is being accused of racially profiling black customers at it's New York locations.
19-year old Trayon Christian and 21-year old Kayla Phillips went to the press this week to talk about their experiences at the store. They were both detained by police after buying expensive items.
Trayon Christian
Christian sued Barneys following an accusation of credit card fraud after using his debit card to buy a $349 Ferragamo belt in April.
Sharpton threatened on Saturday (October 26) to boycott the store if the retailer fails to respond adequately to the allegations, according to the Associated Press.
The civil rights leader said that black New Yorkers "are not going to live in a town where our money is considered suspect and everyone else's money is respected."
As we previously reported, a petition has been started calling for Jay Z to cut ties with the store. The Roc Nation mogul has a holiday collection partnership with Barneys that is set to launch on November 20.
Barneys has hired hired Michael Yaki, who serves on the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, to lead a review of it's fairness and equality practices
