Akon says he'd work with Chris Brown

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Akon says he'd work with Chris Brown despite the 19-year-old's legal troubles and public image problem.

Akon says he doesn't condone domestic violence. But he also says Chris Brown is human and people make mistakes, and he doesn't think Brown's career should be on hold because of it. He says Brown will learn from his experience and hopefully treat the next woman differently.

Brown is charged with two felonies for allegedly beating girlfriend Rihanna. Since the attack, Brown has seen his endorsement deals fade away and some radio stations have stopped playing his music.
