Chris Brown Arrives At Court, Rumors Suggest He Worked Out A Plea Bargain
TMZ is reporting that both Chris Brown and Rihanna have arrived at court and that a news camera has been allowed inside the courtroom when previously it was reported that NO cameras would be allowed. Earlier today, TMZ reported that Brown may have worked out a plea bargain that may be announced today. Considering that a camera has been allowed inside the courtroom, news of a plea bargain may turn out to be true:
Chris Brown just walked into the court in downtown Los Angeles, through a sea of media and law enforcement. Officially, his preliminary hearing is set to begin at 1:30 PT and Rihanna is supposed to testify. But Brown’s lawyer was in chambers this AM with the prosecutor and the judge. We’re hearing they may announce a deal when the case is called.
UPDATE: Rihanna’s lawyer is in court but she isn’t there. It smells like a plea deal.
UPDATE: BIG CHANGE. RIHANNA IS IN THE COURTHOUSE. THAT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE A PLEA BARGAIN. She’s wearing all black with sunglasses — looks like a pop star going to a funeral.
UPDATE: Even though Rihanna’s there it still does feel like plea bargain
UPDATE: HUGE … THEY’VE JUST ALLOWED A CAMERA IN THE COURTROOM. OUR SOURCES SAY IF A CAMERA WAS LET IN THAT MEANS THERE ALMOST CERTAINLY IS A PLEA BARGAIN
HMMM … when TMZ starts writing in all CAPS, you can be sure they’re all riled up about somethin’. I’ll update this post with news once we know for sure if Chris Brown got a plea bargain or not. Keep in mind that just because a deal may have been struck that doesn’t necessarily mean that he won’t get any jail time. A plea bargain just means that both sides agree to a deal to close the criminal case … he may have copped to a deal that only involves a small amount of jail time. Stay tuned …

I really hope they try and make an example of how violence should not be tolerated with this case. I truly hope he gets jail time. And a decent amount. I kind of feel like Rihanna will take pity on him .
