Chris Brown will reportedly plead self-defense when he ends up in court, according to a new report.

“Chris is already building his case. He’s saying she threw a phone at him, then hit him in the head and basically just lost it. He’s saying she attacked him” a source told Life & Style Weekly .

Related reports suggest that the case may be delayed beyond March 5th in order to gather more evidence. A spokeperson for the LA district attorney said in a statement that “We don’t have the evidence yet. (Los Angeles police detectives) are still investigating.:

“If (detectives) determine they need more time they’ll set a new date for him (Brown) to come into court. He only has to come back if and when we file charges.”

Rumors of Rihanna beating Brown first surfaced February 11 , days after the now infamous incident. At the time, insiders claimed that Rihanna regularly beat Brown, and that this time he snapped and retaliated.
