Chris Brown's lawyer Mark Geragos is saying that due to the pictures of a battered Rihanna police leaked to TMZ, the case against Brown should be dismissed. He's also taking names, asking that an internal investigation be conducted to reveal who leaked the photo.

Geragos writes, "This highly prejudicial photograph was sold by an LAPD officer to the entertainment website, Thirty Mile Zone (TMZ). The photograph was immediately viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers and was plastered on every news channel for the following weeks."

Geragos says that because (he believes) evidence was sold to TMZ by officers involved in the case, their credibility has been compromised and thus, the case should be thrown out.

"I believe there is a reasonable likelihood that the case will be dismissed at the preliminary hearing," Geragos said.

    I think as my opinion can allow to say, the case should be thrown out, because Rihanna will not have the face to cris in prison in convicted of the charges levied against him. Enoch from Liberia.
