Just under an hour ago (at about 4.40pm, NYtime) the judge made the ruling on the Chris Brown and Rihanna assault case.
CHRIS is now a CONVICTED FELON!!
Brown managed to get a plea deal….and therefore will NOT be doing any jail time. But His sentence is 180 days (6 months) of HARD LABOUR in Virginia(his home town). This will include cleaning up roads or graffiti.
Brown pleaded GUILTY to ASSAULT,which is a FELONY OFFENSE (offence)(in other words a very serious crime). He will therefore be on probation for 5 YEARS and have to go back to court EVERY 3 MONTHS! His probation is SUPERVISED!! If he breaches his probation he could face up to 4 years in jail/prison!
Chris has also been ordered to completely STAY AWAY from Miss. Fenty a.k.a Rihanna and will have to enroll in a domestic violence counseling program (programme).
The judge stated that he wanted to ensure that Brown “was treated as any other person who comes through this court.”
TMZ also reported that Rihanna was in the COURTHOUSE but NOT present in the courtroom!
I think I’m happy with this outcome….He is being punished but it’s not going to ruin his career prospects!
What do you think….was he let off too easily or should the punishment have been more severe??
Update: @ 5.32PM (NYtime)/10.32 (LDNtime):
Chris Brown had JUST left the court room with his entourage and Rihanna was called in…..
Rihanna’s lawyers stated that she DID NOT want to order for Chris to STAY AWAY from her to be ENFORCED!!
Rihanna had 1st heard of the plea deal this afternoon and had previously been PREPARED to testify according to LA time Reporter Harriet Ryan.
Update: @ 6.29PM (NYtime)/11.29 (LDNtime):
Rihanna’s spokesperson:
“Rihanna believes this is a fair n just resolution of this case. She’d like 2 thank frm the bottom of her heart, the DA n LAPD..”
Chris Brown’s Attorney:
“I want to make clear that Chris entered a guilty plea and not a no-contest plea. From the very beginning, he’s always wanted to take responsibility. For a first offender, a kid who’s never been in trouble before…Chris wants to make sure the message gets out that domestic violence is not acceptable. He wants to move past this, get his life back on track and his career back on track. He wants to speak more but I’ve restricted him. He’ll have a statement at his sentencing on Aug 5th.”

hehehe
I think he got what he deserved i dont think he should be a convicted felon though. im glad he didnt go to jail because im sure ri ri was fighting him back she dont look like the type of chick to just sit there and take it.
Supra’s are slowy becoming my favorite shoe.. Well I wouldn’t say slowly.. I take that back! Amazing!
This all happened a while back and I recently heard some news about Mr.Brown on one of the few radio shows which actually dont mind having something to do with him. I genuinely feel sorry for him since his career has been so obviously destroyed by his private affairs. I think its a crying shame to see such talent go to waste (and it is a serious talent this dude can sing, act , dance…) because he made one mistake. I do not condone domestic violence at all, but I do believe that this situation may not be black and white. I think many young women be pushing the limits and hiding behind the fact that men not suposed to hit them. Recently I have seen may examples of situations where if I were a man I would beat that ass down – straight up! The fact that Rhianna was so reluctant to come forward also seems fishy too, after all Charley Sheens wife was all up in the paper cussing his ass after they ish popped off! I feel like in entertainment some crimes are justified and even boost careers, e.g rappers always talking about shooting, stabbing people and selling drugs which destroy the community but they get awards. Some rappers have even served time for this and its perfectly ok to see young children walking around claiming to be a P.I.M.P. Chris kept his ish clean, and he never been convicted of anything criminal before despite coming from a broken home. Even Britany Spears who clearly endangered the life of her children with her antics got support from everyone, no save the children campaign here, telling her that she is a bad mother and a bad example?! I really think he doesn’t deserve to have to pay with his career with this one foolish mistake which he has taken complete responsibility for from the beginning. But I suppose the risks are higher when your in the public arena eh? I’m gunna buy his new album
