(Reuters) - R&B singer Chris Brown's trial for allegedly assaulting a fan outside a hotel in Washington, D.C., was delayed again on Wednesday after his defense said more time was needed to arrange for the testimony of his bodyguard.
Brown, 24, is accused of punching a man who was trying to take his photo near the White House in October. Christopher Hollosy, the singer's 35-year-old bodyguard, was convicted on Monday of misdemeanor assault for hitting the man during the altercation.
Brown's attorneys say Hollosy is a key witness who should appear at the trial in the District of Columbia Superior Court, but the bodyguard has refused to speak under oath until his appeal is completed.
Prosecutors said Brown punched Parker Adams, 20, in the face after he first tried to crowd into a photo the singer was taking with two women, then tried to take a picture on his cell phone without Brown's permission.
