Rihanna to Be Ordered to Testify at Chris Brown Hearing

 Rihanna may finally speak in public about the alleged assault on her earlier this year by Chris Brown. Following a hearing in Los Angeles Thursday, Rihanna`s lawyer, Donald Etra, said prosecutors intend to subpoena the singer to appear at a June 22 hearing, so the court can determine if there`s enough evidence to proceed with a trial. "The DA has advised me that she will be subpoenaed [to testify]," Etra said. "She absolutely will comply." He added that Rihanna, 21, would be subject to cross-examination by Brown`s lawyer, Mark Geragos. Meanwhile, Geragos was unsuccessful Thursday in convincing a judge to grant him access to police records in effort to find out who leaked a photo of Rihanna`s injuries. Asked if he`s confident that he can keep Brown from serving time behind bars, Geragos replied after the hearing, "I`m not going to address any of that." In denying Geragos`s request, L.A. Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said that while she agreed the leaked photo was unfortunate, she argued it had nothing to do Brown`s arrest and wouldn`t significantly impact his right to a fair trial. "It matters to me not if your client is high-profile or not," the judge said. "I don`t believe you`re entitled [to demand access to police records]." Brown, 20, has pleaded not guilty to allegedly beating Rihanna on Feb. 8. If convicted, he faces anywhere from probation to a maximum four years and eight months in state prison. Experts say the case likely won`t go to trial, but instead will end with a plea deal, which could happen at any time. In a YouTube.com video posted Tuesday, Brown, who`s working on a new album, broke his silence and told fans "I ain`t a monster" in an apparent reference to the case. His reps had no comment on the video. Meanwhile, Rihanna was spotted last week getting cozy with Canadian hip-hop artist Aubrey "Drake" Graham, although the rapper stated they`re just friends.
