The legal attorneys who work for Chris Brown in relation with his battery case that involves on-again girlfriend Rihanna are working hard to score the "Run It!" hit maker a possible plea deal which will see him getting a probation instead of serving time in jail. In an exclusive report on its site, E! News claims Chris' A-list defense attorney Mark Geragos has begun talking to the persecutors on Monday, March 2 about a possible guilty plea to a misdemeanor.

As of press time, there has yet record if Chris' camp and the prosecutors have reached certain agreement, taking into account that the D.A. just received the case from the Los Angeles Police Department on Wednesday, March 4. Meanwhile, both Chris and his camp still remain tight lipped about every single detail related to his case.

Commenting on the plea deal that Chris' attorneys have been seeking for, criminal defense attorney Daniel Perlman, who has nothing to do with the case, has been quoted as explaining the attempt is a "smart move," particularly in a domestic violence case. On the reason why, Daniel says "because it's the type of crime where the defendant is more villianized than say a bar fight, and so the less the media knows about the strength of the prosecution's case, the easier to convince them to reduce or dismiss or recharge with a lesser offense."

Amidst sketchy details on the case, a law-enforcement source close to the investigation tells E! News that authorities are still working hard to collect more evidence from both Chris and Rihanna. Though so, "criminal threats and battery has proved rather thin" because prosecutors "have a victim who's back together with her alleged attacker, and some conflicting statements from each side. It's not the slam dunk they hoped it would be," the source explains.
