She said the evidence of the prosecution's main witness, taxi driver Zola Tongo, was "riddled with contradictions" and "highly debatable". Meaning she didn't believe what he said in court.

Chris Brown apologizes for thrashing Karrueche Tran on instagram

This guy must really be in love. Guess from next week, we will start seeing pics of two of them together again. Below is what he just posted on his instagram page alongside the sober pic above...
Being young and dumb is one of my strong suits and emotional at best. I love hard and react impulsively when I'm hurt at times. I don't think social media is a place to air out or hash out personal problems and a nigga feel hella wack for doing it. So I am apologizing I live in a glass house and the same shit that makes me great also is my curse. Everybody know I love that girl. I don't care how my image my look to the public because I'm still gonna be the best at what I do. I just want baby girl to know I apologize!��
