Brown’s Miami plea hearing was reset to Oct. 28. A continuance is not a plea the court has accepted.

A continuance is process, not a judgment. On Wednesday, Sept. 30, 2026, Judge Marisa Tinkler Mendez postponed his Miami-Dade hearing to Oct. 28. The Miami Herald reported she said she was “not up to speed” because she was in another trial and had not reviewed the materials. ESPN reported his lawyer said Brown was prepared to plead no contest to aggravated assault and be sentenced to probation, which is a proposal, not a conviction.

ESPN reported Brown arrived Wednesday morning and, according to defense attorney Mark Eiglarsh, was ready to plead no contest to aggravated assault and be sentenced to probation. ESPN reported the judge said she was in the middle of another trial and was not ready to go forward, and that the hearing was pushed to Oct. 28. The Miami Herald reported Eiglarsh told reporters the plan was a no-contest plea to aggravated assault with a firearm, which would not admit guilt, with a withhold of adjudication and three years of probation. The Herald reported the judge said she will decide whether to accept any agreement and that she had not had time to review the materials from prosecutors and the defense.

CBS Miami reported the potential plea was postponed until Oct. 28 so the judge could review the case before deciding whether to accept it. ESPN reported Eiglarsh called the delay a setback because Brown would wear an ankle monitor for another month without closure, and that the lawyer was cautiously optimistic the judge would agree to the terms. Those are descriptions of a deal the court has not taken. CBS Miami has reported the case stems from a May 2025 shooting outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami. A new court date is a calendar entry. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
