The city attorney’s office is prosecuting Brown even though Monique Brown, 25, has recanted her story. The couple’s attorney has said she made up the threats because she was frustrated and believed her husband was having an affair. Brown has alleged that police forced his wife to make the allegations and that they targeted him because he is a black community leader. “It seems more a case about prosecuting her than me. She's been doing a great job,” Brown, holding hands with his wife, said as he arrived at court. He was greeted by about 25 sign-waving supporters. “Stop the prosecution of black celebrities. White celebrities are not targeted even though they are caught red-handed,” one sign said. Montesdeoca testified that 18 officers responded to the 911 call Monique Brown made from a neighbor’s house.
