Jana R. and Nina B. carry signs outside the Los Angeles Superior courthouse on Thursday, March 5, in Los Angeles, California. Both ladies were holding signs in support of entertainer Chris Brown, who was charged with two felony assault charges on Thursday.
It was a media circus outside the courthouse and among that circus was a group of protesters who were marching against paparazzi. Holding signs that said ‘Rihannaslaw.com - Stop Paparazzi’ they walked around the court house for a few hours.
Rihanna’s attorney Donald Etra spoke to various media outlets about the case saying:
“If required to testify, she will testify,” Etra.
As for how Rihanna is doing now, Etra said, “She’s recovering quite well and she’s doing fine.”
Etra also addressed whether Rihanna wanted a no-contact order, which would prohibit her from having contact with Brown.
“Rihanna opposed that. Rihanna was ok with the so-called level one protective order, which orders Chris not to annoy, molest or harass her. And Rihanna believes that was totally sufficient.” [SOURCE]

The Los Angeles Police Department has launched an internal investigation and filed a personnel complaint after a photo leaked late Thursday of what appears to be a bruised Rihanna following the alleged incident with Chris Brown on Grammy weekend.
“The unauthorized release of a domestic-violence photograph immediately generated an internal investigation,” an LAPD spokesman said in statement about the photo, which appeared on TMZ. “The Los Angeles Police Department Media Relations Section began receiving numerous inquiries about the release of a photograph associated with a domestic violence incident that occurred on February 8, 2009, involving entertainer Chris Brown.
The Los Angeles Police Department takes seriously its duty to maintain the confidentiality of victims of domestic violence,” the LAPD asserted in the statement. “A violation of this type is considered serious misconduct, with penalties up to and including termination.”
