Chris Brown Plea Deal — No Jail Time!

Chris Brown Plea Deal — No Jail Time!

Chris Brown heads into an L.A. court on Monday (June 22), where he pleaded guilty for felony assault and received a slap on the wrist — 5 years probation and 180 days of community service in Virginia.

This plea deal follows months of speculation following his alleged assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna.

According to LA Times, judge Patricia Schnegg says she plans to issue “a stay-away” order barring Chris from having contact with Rihanna. But an attorney for Rihanna said she doesn’t want the order.

SHE DID NOTHING WRONG. Why do black people especially black women HATE other black women? I see this EVERY SINGLE DAY. They will jump to the defense of any violent n!gg3r, but the woman who he beats??? no way. Black society is f*cked up.

I agree with black people #22.

I don’t think this is a surprise for most people.

Maybe he can get back to life

I have an ex boyfriend who is going through the same charges right now for hitting me. 245 PC ASSAULT W/ A DEADLY WEAPON and/or an ASSAULT W/ INTENT TO CAUSE GREAT BODILY. He threw me on the floor, held me down, while punching and kicking me, and smashed a 13lb foot stool across my face.

The injuries were bad and I received a few cracked teeth. I’m no longer with him, but I’m wondering what type of sentence he will receive??? I live in Los Angeles county as well, however, I’m under the jurisdiction of Beverly Hills Municipal Court and not Los Angeles Superior Court. The punishment is 2, 3, and 4 years in California state prison. The prosecution is asking for prison time, since this is his 3rd felony conviction for 245 PC Assault w/ a deadly weapon. The other 2 prior offenses were not domestic, nor did they relate to me. However this man is 40 years old. You can see the pattern of violence from him.

Chris on the other hand, is half this man’s age. and the violence cycle usually begins in one’s 20’s. I’m glad that he was convicted of a Felony. Felony probation is no joke, and neither are those domestic violence classes. Screw up once, and he can easily be re arrested. He will be randomly drug tested, and prohibited to leave the county of his residence in Virginia, without a month’s prior approval. Not to mention the restraining order against Rihanna.

Brown’s career, is most likely over, sad to say. But after seeing the pictures of her beating, I’m pleased that the prosecution intervened, in this ugly violent cycle. We don’t need another Nicole Simpson.

He will no longer be able to board a private jet, at a moments notice, and to crash at Diddy’s mansion, on Star island, to receive some R&R.Beleive that!!! His movements will be monitored and documented. His requests to his probation officer, may be authentic, but to the overseeing probation officer, they will seem frivolous and trivial. Therefore, most likely they will be denied!

Unlike my ex, Brown is famous, has a famous victim, has a lot of money, and has hired one of the best attorneys that money can buy. I’m certain that if he did not have these assets, he would have received a harsher punishment, and definitely some jail time, as the minimum sentence is 2 years prison time. The fact that he only received, community service, is disappointing.

But let us look at the amount of time, 1400 hours, equaling 180 days of 8 hour, physical labor. We are not talking about reading bedtime stories to blind children. We are talking about long, hot/cold (depending on the weather) days of undergoing back breaking, and often disgusting, physical labor.

He will clean blood out of jail cells and vomit out of the back seats of patrol cars. Believe me, I have personally undergone this. Sometimes, it almost is better to take the jail sentence, then to be tortured and humiliated under a constant, and watchful eye of the presiding police sergeant.

The bottom line is this: Chris Brown was punished for his reckless and criminal behavior against Rihanna. Was it the punishment we all wanted or expected??? No, but is it ever, when a celebrity is involved? 25 years ago, Brown would have received a true “slap on the wrist” and nothing more would have been said or done, judically or in the press. Today, society demands more accountability from individuals that commit crimes, celebrity or not. Women will not tolerate Domestic violence, nor will the courts. Those days are over. However, even today, if you have a fat wallet, no priors, and are a celebrity figure, you can easily fall through the cracks of the justice system.

But I can honestly say that Brown dug his own grave, when he took the plea deal and admitted to the Felony, therefore subjecting himself to all the punishments and requirements that came along with the sentence.

Quite honestly, with his current lifestyle, Chris Brown, may not even make it through this physically harsh labor punishment and may very well subconsciously rebel, by means of procrastinating his court obligations, and end up back in court for a Probation Violation.

Closing, should I mention what will happen to him if he comes into contact with his ever forgiving, love Rihanna???

Girl needs to move on!!!!

Well, all i got to say is he not going to jail. I’m happy. End of story.

@elizab8th: Drama Queen alert.

stupid ****

Rhianna threw the first punch @ 06/23/2009 at 8:11 am

Rhianna threw the first punch. Chris Brown did not do anything wrong.
That beaten image of hers is photo shopped.
This is all just a Femnazi propaganda to demean men.

Are you kidding me? He did not get off easy because of his celebrity. He got exactly what a non-celebrity would get for a first time offense. Hopefully, he will LEARN from this mistake. Somehow, I doubt that Rihanna is totally innocent in this mess.

actully in a case like this they do not realise that he proberly won’t get jail time i have said this on perez site(i don’t vist it anymore) in legal eyes if you own up you will get hard community service restraning order or more maybe a big fine. i did say this but people said he is prberly going to get jail time this was from advice from myuncle who is a judge ohwell don’t care really rihanna is a lil ***** and chris is a douchbag lol like perez

Has any body asked this question?what if it was Rihanna who hit him with her shoe and had him bleeding at over,would she have gone to jail for that?Now we can see her running around with all sort of men.Yep!,you can call me an ******* but all I ask for is equal rights for us all.

bassically ive never liked rhianna and although beating is very very wrong and he shouldnt have did it , i stil think rhianna made up alot of it but if chris said no shes lying about that itll just make the situation worse. I love chris brown so much and what ever happens im going to be on his side . i hate rhianna with passion i only like some of her songs shes a hoe no matter what. and i could cuss her all day. So well CHRIS BROWN IM TOTALLY ON HIS SIDE
i love you !..and i hate her.
