Less than a week after a huge health scare, Chris Brown officially has something to smile about. The singer — who suffered a seizure that his rep says was brought on by "unfounded legal matters" and "nonstop negativity" — scored a victory in court today when a judge dismissed his hit-and-run case, according to TMZ.
Brown was accused of fleeing the scene of a car accident in May.
The woman involved wanted the case dismissed given the minor damage to
her vehicle, but prosecutors argued that the Virginia native be punished
for violating the terms of his five-year probation.
According to the L.A. City attorney, Brown verbally attacked the
woman and refused to produce a driver's license or insurance
information. He was booked on a hit-and-run in July and released from
custody within an hour.
From the start, Brown vehemently denied wrongdoing.
Attorney Mark Geragos believes his client was targeted because of his
celebrity. "The case never should have been filed in the first place,"
Geragos told TMZ. "It's unfortunate he was being prosecuted for who he
is rather than what he's done."
Responding to the win this afternoon, Brown tweeted, "!!!!!!! Thank GOD!"
