“Chris Brown continues to pose an increasingly violent danger to society,” Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray

R&B singer Chris Brown, left, appears in Los Angeles court with his attorney Mark Geragos during a probation-review hearing. The judge rejected a prosecutor’s request to have Brown sent to jail over the misdemeanor assault case filed last year in Washington, D.C.
A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge sided with the short-fused singer when he rejected a prosecutor’s motion to toss Brown behind bars pending a probation violation hearing related to his Rihanna assault case.
Judge James Brandlin said Brown appeared to be showing progress in his anger management rehab program and should stay put for the foreseeable future.
The “Kiss Kiss” crooner was ordered to undergo in-patient treatment in November after he was arrested Oct. 27 in Washington D.C. for allegedly punching a man in a dispute over a fan photo.
He has pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor assault charge in the nation’s capital .
