Chris Brown Seeks New Trial in Dog Bite Case Citing Prejudice from Past Conviction
Chris Brown is requesting a new trial in a lawsuit where he was ordered to pay $12.9 million to his former housekeeper, Maria Avila, who claimed she was injured by a dog at his home. Brown argues that the jury was unfairly influenced by testimony regarding his 2009 assault conviction involving Rihanna, which he believes was irrelevant to the case. Brown contends that the inclusion of this past incident prejudiced the jury against him, affecting the trial's outcome.
