A judge delayed sentencing R&B singer Chris Brown on Wednesday for his assault on pop star Rihanna, citing questions about the community service requirement.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said she needed more information from Brown's home state of Virginia, where he is to serve five years' probation, about what work the singer would perform.
When Brown struck a plea deal with prosecutors, the judge was adamant that the six months of community service include physically difficult and unglamorous work, such as picking up trash.
Brown attended the hearing with his mother and several supporters, but did not speak. He is to return to court Aug. 27.
