What Will Rihanna Say?

I cannot wait to hear what Rihanna will, or will not, say in court today. Monday's preliminary hearing in a Los Angeles courtroom is to determine if there's enough evidence for a trial against Chris Brown.

Of course everyone has been following the Chris Brown/ Rihanna case; But though we have heard from Brown somewhat about the incident, Rihanna has kept silent.

Finally, today, we may get to hear her side of the story. I hope so. It is possible however that Rihanna will not speak. Although she is required to appear in court, Rihanna is not legally required to testify. According to People, she can refuse to take the stand and, in these types of cases, the court cannot threaten her with jail time to compel her to speak. At most, she could be punished with fines or other sanctions, but a judge may be reluctant to do so.

Depending on what Rihanna says, or doesn't say, in court today, Chris Brown could decide to accept a plea bargain (and probably do some jail time according to some legal experts), or if Rihanna's tesimony seems unreliable, Brown's lawyers could ask for a reduction in charges, or even a dismissal.

Talk about sitting on the edge of seats...I bet there will be alot of that going on today as we all wait to hear what Rihanna says. Or Doesn't Say.
