How today’s legal proceedings unfold will largely be determined on whether or not Brown’s lawyers are able to strike a deal with the district attorney.
Both sides in the case were reportedly working around-the-clock to negotiate a plea deal, but no official announcement has come as of early this morning. If not, Judge Patricia Schnegg could possibly move this case along and set an official court date.
Some of the major factors pushing the case towards a plea deal are the fact that Chris Brown is a first-time offender with no other criminal history, and both pop superstars could do without additional shocking information being made public from the night in question.
If no plea deal is struck and the case goes to trial, Brown could face a maximum of four years and eight months in prison if he’s found guilty, according to an L.A. County District Attorney spokesman.
Brown is facing felony charges of assault and making criminal threats. Stay tuned to Gossip Girls for updates later this afternoon.
