Just days after it was confirmed that Chris Brown would have to stay in jail for about a month until his DC assault hearing takes place on April 23, it now appears his lawyer Mark Geragos is working hard to get the victim to agree to a civil settlement instead.
Apparently Chris is willing to fork over a lot of cash to get his DC problem to go away and get out of jail early. TMZ reports:
Sources connected with the D.C. assault case tell TMZ … Chris’ lawyer, Mark Geragos, has contacted the lawyer for the man who claims Chris assaulted him in D.C., breaking his nose, and offered him a BIG FAT CHECK.
We’re told Geragos is gunning for a civil settlement … which could very well mean the broken nose guy would tell prosecutors he no longer has an interest in pursuing the criminal case. And our sources say prosecutors are aware of the civil settlement negotiations.
We’re told Geragos may have already sealed the deal but if not … it should be done in a day or 2.
If the civil settlement does indeed work out, the assault victim will cause the prosecutors to drop the charges.
And this is why he keeps getting in trouble. He knows his lawyer will just bail him out.
True.
Agreed.
That’s what he’s paid to do boo!
I honestly don’t think that Chris assaulted that man in DC. I hope he uses his time in jail to find himself, and focus on his music and career. He’s too talented to throw his life away.
I’m not surprised.
Typical.
And the enabling continues.
I expect him to get in more trouble once he gets off again. Anyone want to bet $5?
lol
*Face palm* I’m going to get you SMH lol.
I’m starting to see why Chris never got serious about getting his life together.
Well he definitely keeps his lawyer busy doesn’t he? :-/
…and paid.
I hope and pray that he comes back stronger than ever. I wish EVERYBODY including the media, blogs, judges, fake fans, Karrueche, Rihanna and the LA lowlifes leave Chris Brown alone. You judgemental hate the boy and wouldnt lasted 1 week in his shoes…. Your life must suck to run to every bs socialmedia outlet talk bs about a man you’ve never met. God Bless Chris Brown
