Chris Brown Takes Plea Deal

Chris Brown has opted for a plea deal in the February assault on Rihanna by pleading guilty to assault.

Chris Brown

The deal, reached today in a Los Angeles courtroom, gives Brown five years probation for felony assault, and 180 days of community service (in hard labor) which he'll serve in his home state of Virginia (pending approval), and he must enroll in a year-long domestic violence program... but he will spend no time in jail.

Brown must also stay away from Rihanna -- at least 50 yards. The judge ordered that if he and Rihanna attend the same event, he must stay at least 10 yards away. The order is in force for 5 years.

Judge Patricia Schnegg stated that Chris Brown "was treated as any other person who comes through this court." A violation of Brown's probation could earn him up to 4 years in prison.

Brown, who showed up to court in a gray suit apparently took the deal before Rihanna testified in the hearing. She was in the courthouse wearing all black, but never got to testify because of the plea. As part of the deal, a charge of making criminal threats was dropped.

No surprise! I swear people in Hollywood and politics can do anything they want and get away with it. From buying babies to beating up women. Hell, some have even got away with committing murder.

I think that Chris should have gone to jail, and the judge should have thrown away the key!!!!!!!!! I’ve BEEN on the recieving end of abuse, and it’s isn’t fun, nor is it funny,what it does is scar the woman forever, and it cause her to not trust people, ruins any chance for a happy life, and no matter how much therapy she goes through, it’s STILL there—- it never leaves!!!!!!!!
It’s a horrible punishment for the woman
because it’s like a nightmare that never ends!!!!!!!!

He’s doing his C.S. in his home state of Virginia, where he lives. If we’re lucky, some redneck will hit him w/ the car he’s driving while Biting Baboon is picking up trash on side of the road. Savage.

Also, “Anonmous’” comment up there blaming the victim is disgusting. I wonder what he/she would do if it was THEIR daughter lying in a body bag, having to identify the corpse because she got into an abusive. relationship.

it’s not enough because he probably doesn’t realize just how wrong he was for what he did. My brother was killed trying to stop a man from beating a woman and since then I believe men shouldn’t hit a woman for any reason.
