Chris Brown ducks jail time in plea deal

June 22nd, 2009 // 43 Comments

Chris Brown avoided jail time today after pleading guilty to the felony assault of Rihanna on February 8. She was at the courthouse to testify if the plea deal wasn’t accepted. CNN reports:

Under terms of the agreement, Brown will serve five years of probation and complete 180 days of community service.
Los Angeles Criminal Court Judge Patricia Schnegg said Brown could apply to have his supervised probation transferred to Virginia, where he maintains his legal residence. He also can complete his community service there, she said, but it would have to meet the court’s standards.
“I want Mr. Brown treated as any other defendant who comes to this court,” Schnegg said.
Brown must also undergo domestic violence counseling, she said. But the judge noted he has no prior criminal record.

Well, now that this debacle is officially over, the important thing to remember is at least the message wasn’t sent to Chris Brown’s young fans that it’s okay to beat your girlfriend because you probably won’t go to jail the first time.

Wait.

    I have a feeling RIRI is similar to Whitney Houston, when the cameras are around she acts proper, when they’re not its ghetto style…that’s why she hit “i aint a monster” first….

    Sometimes not punishing a celebrity for violence against his lady totally rehabilitates him — just look at OJ.

    I know people who have gotten a more lenient sentencing for the same thing…. I think the fact he is a celebrity hurt rather than helped his case.

    There’s a system of jurisprudence in this country that guarantees justice equally:
    If you have enough cash, you can buy your way out of any trouble you can buy your way into. If you don’t have alot of cash, you may have to do some time. If you got a Public Defender, you can kiss your broke ass goodbye. They should teach kids this in school. Eliminate any confusion.

      Chris Brown looks like an APE.

      Seriously — the boy looks exactly like an ape (or maybe a
      chimp or something — but definitely some type of a monkey).

      It surprises me that few people seem to have ever noticed this.

      It’s not racist to say this either — because it is ‘Chris Brown’
      (not every single black person) who looks like a monkey.

        He also acts like one. God love us, I often wonder why these ‘people’ are supported and make a truck-load off our backs.

    I am surprised they didn’t make him do the 90 minutes in jail and then release him because of “overcrowding” a la Paris, Nicole, Lindsey and the big boned Kardashian.

    DID YOU KNOW …..
    That Chris Brown has the ONLY autographed copy (personal message included,too) of “If I Did It” by OJ Simpson?

    Thinks it’s its alright to beat up women as long as they are foreigners … they not citizens, he thinks, so they ain’t got no rights, ‘cept the back o’ my hand …FWOO_HAAAH BEE_AHTCH….SHUT THE FUCK UP OR I’LL DEPORT YOU HOME IN A CASKET OR A SAUSAGE CASE.

    Thinks OJ was too soft on Nicole … the night she died.

    This is why our judicial system is so fucked up. It was his first offense but there has to be a first offense before there’s a second or third.

    I don’t know. As long as his career is ruined and he doesn’t get any money for spewing out shitty club music, then I think he got what he deserves. The worst thing that can happen to him is to lose his fame, reputation and money. Getting his ass beat in prison was just a fantasy of mine, but this piece of shit was bound to squirm out of it.

    Okay this what happened
    Rihanna starts turning the radio down
    (she wanted to tell chris something)

    Chris was like “RiHANNA” ?? “Don’t stop the music” !

    Rihanna: chris I have to tell you something so just “shutup and drive” !

    Chris : “hold up” “Excuse me miss” Who you talkin to ??

    Rihanna : CHRiS !!!! I have a secret to tell you

    Chris : “yo” what’s up

    Rihanna: I’ve been “unfaithful” to you

    Chris : well I guess its a good time to “say goodbye”

    Rihanna : but I thought “we ride”

    Chris : hell naw!!! I don’t ride “with you”
    I mean we had this “young love” that I thought was “picture perfect” and you ruined it !

    Rihanna : well I’m sorry to say this but I gave you herpes also

    Chris stops the car
    WHAT THE FU*K BiT*H you betta “run it” no more “kiss kiss” for you !

    Rihanna screams out
    “S.O.S” please someone help me
    She grabs her cell phone

    Chris “Gimme that” CELL PHONE !

    Rihanna : no I’m finna “break it off” in here !
    (Rihanna slaps and bites chris)

    (Chris thinking to himself)
    Somebody “help me” cause I don’t put my hands on women but she asking for a “poppin”

    Rihanna still trying to hit chris
    You didn’t think I was a bad girl but that’s right I’m a good girl gone bad !!!!!!

    Chris trying to restrain himself from hitting her
    Bad Girl ?? Trick plz I would do some “damage” to “you” imma “take you down” and get yo ass deported back to barbados !

    Rihanna saw a cup in the cup holder and all of a sudden started “breakin dishes” on top of chris’s head

    Suddenly chris couldn’t take it anymore cause (Rihanna was provoking him)
    he finds himself chocking her til the point where she has “no air” then he hits her with an “umbrella” and is kicking her ass from “wall to wall” !
