rihannaRihanna may have accepted boyfriend, Chris Brown, back into her life, but she will testify against the violent R&B singer if subpoenaed in his case.  After Brown was charged with two felony counts on Thursday in connection with his alleged assault on Rihanna, many questioned whether she would cooperate with the case in securing a guilty verdict. 

Brown, 19, was charged with assault and criminal threats, which, if convicted, could land him more than four years in state prison. According to mtvnews.com, statements were made to People by Los Angeles defense lawyer and former prosecutor Steve Sitkoff. 


“The DAs are facing an uphill battle now if Rihanna isn’t cooperating,” he said on Friday, March 6. “At this point, her cooperation can make or break the case. But the DAs may not need her if Brown is willing to strike a plea deal.”

Rihanna’s lawyer, Donald Etra, also released a statement.  “At this point, she is willing to do anything that the law requires her to do … If subpoenaed, she will testify.” When asked to confirm that the couple has reunited since the alleged February 8 incident, Etra said now is “neither the time nor the place to discuss their relationship.”
