Chris Brown is the luckiest man in the business as he has already won the advantage in the D.C. assault case after investigators failed to find a single video of the incident. This, despite the surveillance and top-notch security in the area where the altercation occurred.
Brown’s alleged smack down in Washington, D.C. happened just down the street from the White House and only yards away from the W Hotel that is surrounded by heavily guarded government buildings covered by security cameras.
Despite all the cameras in the area, the R&B star’s incident apparently happened in the one spot that none of these cameras could even get a glimpse of.
Initially investigators were extremely confident that there would be some footage of the fight, but after coming up empty handed it appears the “Love More” singer won’t have any charges to face.
The absence of footage of the incident is just the latest event that has worked out in the R&B star’s favor in the assault case and possible violation of probation.
A secret service agent, who claimed to be nearby when the fight broke out, came forward as a witness and claimed that he heard the victim admit that Brown never hit him.
While the police officers who responded to the incident insist that the victim never said that, the secret service agent is adamant about what he claims he heard.
Just before that, Brown’s initial felony assault charges were reduced to a misdemeanor, and significantly reduced his possible jail time for the alleged assault.
Although he is pretty much off the hook for the assault charges, whether or not he is in violation of his probation is another story.
The LA County Probation Department has been eager to catch Breezy in violation of his probation, which could cause him to serve up to four years behind bars.
Needless to say, if investigators can’t even prove that Brown was involved in the fight, it will be next to impossible for LA County to prove he was in violation of his probation.
The lack of footage in the case is exactly what Brown needed to stand a chance with probation authorities as his attempt to butter them up by checking into anger management center was ultimately a fail.
The “Fine China” singer says he checked into the center for his own reasons, but the timing of the decision along with the fact that one of his lawyers took him to the anger management rehab center suggests otherwise.
Either way, Brown can probably relax a little at this point, but he had better not make any more incriminating headlines for quite some time or probation officials will surely have a close watch on the young crooner.
