The start of R&B artist Chris Brown's assault trial has been pushed back to Monday after a Washington judge failed to deliver a verdict for the singer's bodyguard.

District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Patricia Wynn delayed her verdict in the assault case against bodyguard Christopher Hollosy, claiming she needed more time to review the evidence. As Hollosy's case is scheduled to conclude before Brown's, the singer's trial will not begin until a verdict is given for his bodyguard.

Both Brown and Hollosy are facing misdemeanor charges for allegedly striking a man in the face outside a Washington hotel last October. Hollosy told police that he punched 20-year-old Parker Adams after he attempted to get on Brown's tour bus. Adams, however, claims that Brown and Hollosy hit him when he tried to get in a photo with Brown and two women.

Several other witnesses testified to seeing Brown punch Adams moments before Hollosy attacked him. When asked to evaluate the strength of Brown's punch, Adams said it was a "6" while Hollosy's was a full "10." Photos in court showed Adams with blood on his face and shirt, and according to court documents, Adams' nose was fractured in the assault.

Adams is suing both Brown and his bodyguard for a total of $3 million in damages.

Bernie Grimm, attorney for Hollosy, accused Adams of trying to profit from the altercation, saying he is "simply trying to get rich" and "wants to get paid for this incident." Adams countered by saying the lawsuit was his lawyer's idea and that the hospital charges amounted to a few thousand dollars.

Hollosy is facing up to six months in jail, although his sentence will likely be less due to him having no criminal record. Brown on the other hand, could face additional charges due to probation violations resulting from the 2009 assault charge involving then-girlfriend Rihanna.
