US judge OKs release of evidence photos from Chris Brown bodyguard’s trial on assault charges

WASHINGTON – A U.S. judge has approved the release of five photos that prosecutors entered into evidence in the assault trial of singer Chris Brown’s bodyguard.

One image shows Brown posing with two women outside a Washington hotel last year before the alleged assault. Another shows Brown and bodyguard Christopher Hollosy in custody.

Other images show Parker Adams, the man the pair are accused of punching after he tried to get on the singer’s tour bus, with a bloody nose and shirt.

Hollosy was convicted of assault and plans to appeal. Brown’s trial was delayed for months. Hollosy told police that he, not Brown, punched Adams.

Brown is in custody in California, where he faces probation issues over his 2009 attack on then-girlfriend singer Rihanna. No new trial date is set in Washington.
