Foxy Brown’s Trial Set Over Alleged Assault

 Rapper Foxy Brown, accused of assaulting two nail salon workers in a fight over payment for a manicure, will go on trial in July, a judge said last week.
Brown, 26, whose real name is Inga Marchand, is charged with a misdemeanor assault stemming back to an August 2004 incident, when prosecutors alleged she kicked one worker and hit the other in the face.
On Friday, the Def Jam recording artist appeared before Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Gerald Harris, and a hearing and trial date was set for July 17.
During her last court appearance in December, Brown was expected to enter a guilty plea to the misdemeanor, but the session was derailed when Judge Melissa Jackson accused the rapper of disrespect and making faces at her.
"I don't like her attitude," Jackson told Brown's lawyer Joseph Fleming.
A ruckus also erupted when Brown was handcuffed during the December session. She shouted at a female court officer that her numerous bracelets were "in the way," and allegedly struck the officer.
Jackson said Brown could either apologize or serve up to 30 days in jail. Brown apologized, but did not enter the plea. Assistant District Attorney Gary Galperin has said the statement was legally and factually flawed, and indicated that Brown did not accept enough blame for the nail salon incident
