TMZ is now reporting that Chris Brown worked out a plea bargain agreement that “punishes” him with probation — for the FELONY assault of Rihanna:
Chris Brown has copped a plea in his assault case. He won’t do jail time. He’s also been ordered to completely stay clear from Rihanna. He’ll spend 180 days doing hard labor in Virginia which is where Brown lives – it’s equivalent to Caltrans or graffiti cleanup. He gets 5 years probation for FELONY assault — he pled guilty. He’ll get supervised probation. He’ll have to come back to court every three months. He must enroll in a domestic violence counseling program. The judge said she wanted to make sure that Chris Brown “was treated as any other person who comes through this court.” If Brown violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison.
Um … this sounds like a whole lotta bullshizz to me. Totally unsurprising and yet still gravely disappointing. No jail time at all for assaulting Rihanna … a fact that he legally confesses to by taking this plea agreement. Celebrity justice, y’all.

I meant injuries.
he’s a frist time offender, you had to know there would be no jail time. and we also dont know what Rihanna said – that could have played a part in the ruling. its not a “celeb” thing, its what most people get.
DENNIS,
It is very possible Rhianna’s people had nothing to do with this. Her team wasn’t prosecuting him, the DA was (aka the State of California). In matters like these, it is all up to the prosecution, and has nothing to do with the wishes of the victim. Rhianna did not have to approve or give her ok for this deal to happen. The DA doesn’t work for Rhianna. Stop spreading false information.
The f*cker got off easy. We’ve seen the sh*t he’s capable of… and he is just getting probation??? THATS BULLSH*T!
Paris Hilton got a harsh ass jail time and she didn’t even hurt anyone. I know she could have, but he actually DID. This is sick shit.
I’m sure Rihanna is actually glad the whole thing is over. She didn’t bring charges against him, the DA did, so I am glad that DA persued it. He is such a douche. At least he had to admit that he did it. He should have gotten much worse, but this is what happens in these types of cases for first time offenders. I hope he messes up and goes to jail.
even martha stewart did jail time. what a disgrace! beat someone to a pulp and get probation, what kind of example is the judge setting here?
Bitchtastic- Get your facts straight. Hilty got like 20 days in jaile & that wasn’t harsh at all. If you use your to remember Hilty got off with probation also but she drove w/o her license & VIOLATED it, that’s why her ss got thrown in the slammer.
It’s so obvious that this is ot a one time thing & that he beat RiRi before. I know danm wel this sleazy fool won’t be abe to keep his nose clean & hands to himself for 5 long years. I can’t blame RiRi for not wanting to deal with the circuis that is celeb trials in LA. But it’s really a shame she doesn’t see she’s way to good for a douche that beats her.
Not that I’m saying he didn’t do anything wrong, BUT don’t you think if he really beat her as badly as claimed we’d be seeing Rhianna speaking out against him and dating violence, instead of continuing to be seen acting chummy with him? Something just doesn’t seem right about that. Also, “Q” try spending less time acting like you really know either of them and more time working on your grammar and spelling check skills.
Q – prove it wasnt a one time thing. it would have been pretty hard for to hide it all that time, seeing as she was always in public. most of the reports of thier relationship had to do with her anger, not his. im not defending this by any means, but you cant go and say that he’s done it before.
and…..enough! dont you all know its weeds and nurse jackie on showtime tonight. make yourselves a nice meal and get off the internet you bunch of perves!!! and i am on here finding a lovely recipe, thats all.
What a lot of people are saying is true- this is very typical for first time offenders. Unfortunately.
TRENT – Maybe you could post the picture of Rihanna’s swollen and bruised face again … just to remind a few people here, who seem to think this was not “as bad” as claimed.
@nooooo – The situations are difficult enough to deal with being a domestic victim. None of us know her and shouldn’t speculate or judge her at all.
Total BULLSHIZZ! But, that dude WILL end up in jail, mark my words. 5 years probation is a long time when you’re in you’re early 20′s. He’ll get in trouble again and end up in jail. That does not mean it’s fair though…what Rihanna had to go through was unreal and terrible. She didn’t have to testify which might have been a big reason he took the plea.
People need to relax. This is a standard deal that he is getting for someone with no record. Do you think that just because he’s a celebrity as is Rihanna that he should get a harsher punishment? No, of course not. This is our criminal justice system at work – and not some celebrity getting off easy.
OK people, calm down. Almost all normal domestic violence cases hardly end up with jail time.
You people suck. We don’t know what happened. If Chris was the only one wrong in this situation I’m sure Rihanna would be all over the place saying how innocent she was. Stop all the Chris Brown hate it’s clearly more to this story that we may never know. Also he not the first celeb to be involved in domestic violence, for some reason racist people are extra mad at him.
I am PISSED. I dont give a shit if it’s his first time-he beat the shit out of her. Inexcusable. I wanted that asshole to get jailtime-and a lot of it. This is the worst news ever.
In the USA today if you are BLACK and RICH you can break ANY law and get away with it.This and Donte Stallworth in Miami Beach are examples of what is call justice in this country today.Sad and shame are not enough to define what is going on.Be careful all of you for you maybe next.
