Brown was charged with public lewdness, harassment and criminal contemp t. She pleaded not guilty when she was arraigned in Brooklyn Supreme Cour t on Thursday (22Jul10).
And Marchand was dealt another blow before a hearing on Tuesday when sh e lost her lawyer from Bruce Barron Associates.
The New York Post reported that the legal firm had dropped its embattle d client, but the rapper’s manager, Bernadette Brennan, tells AllHipHop.c om that the star had "decided to go with a high power attorney".
However her new lawyer, Salvatore Strazzullo, couldn’t prevent the pres iding New York judge from extending a protective order, which requires Ma rchand to keep her distance from her neighbour Arlene Raymond, according to the New York Post.
The rapper is expected back in court on 28 January (11). (MJ/WNWCAH&PYN
