Chris Brown has been feeling awfully sorry for himself lately, comparing himself to Jesus after Frank Ocean accused him of physical assault and then melodramatically taking down his Instagram account because "social media takes away the essence of why we are even special or icons."
But now, things might be looking even worse for the woman-beating talentless troubled singer. L.A. County District Attorney Jackie Lacey is requesting that Brown complete his community service here in Los Angeles, saying that he failed to provide “credible, competent or verifiable evidence” that he completed the service as he was supposed to in Virginia.
Brown was sentenced to 180 days of community service back in August 25 of 2009, for infamously beating the shit out of Rihanna while the two were in a car together. Brown requested that he be able to complete the hours in his home state of Virginia, a request that was granted by the court.
But now, in a motion filed by Deputy District Attorney Mary Murray, the documentation that came in from Virginia showing that Brown completed his community service was described as having “significant discrepancies indicating at best sloppy documentation and at worst fraudulent reporting,” according to a statement from Lacey's office.
The court is being asked to disregard the paperwork from Virginia, and to require that Brown complete his service here in L.A.
