rihanna photo

rihanna photoChris Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos filed a motion Wednesday in the Los Angeles Superior Court seeking access to internal LAPD records.

Geragos believes that the photo of a badly beaten Rihanna was illegally leaked to the media by an LAPD officer.

Geragos says the photograph was sold by someone at the LAPD. The shot was all over the Web, and on TV shows and still remains on the TMZ website.

‘’The purpose of the leak was necessarily for profit and to vilify Mr. Brown and poison the potential jury pool," he told Us Weekly.

Needless to say, Brown's lawyer feels this is cause for a dismissal of the case. Brown's prelim hearing is on May 28th.
