After beating his girlfriend, Rihanna, the night before the Grammy Awards, Chris Brown has pleaded guilty of felony charges. As a result he has been sentenced to 5 years on probation and 180 days of community labor. In addition, he will have to go to domestic violence classes for one year and he’ll have to pay fines as well.
The Superior Court Judge, Patricia Schnegg was heard saying, "Mr. Brown, I think it’s commendable that you took responsibility for your conduct."
Chris has also been ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna unless it’s at industry events. In such cases he must stay at least 10 yards away. He is also not permitted to contact her in any way. However, Rihanna and her lawyer, Donald Etra, tried to obtain a less-restrictive order. If Chris violates his probation, he could face four years in jail.
Mark Geragos, Brown’s attorney, said of his client, "He’s very thankful to all the people who’ve been very supportive. This is a kid who’s never been in trouble before, who wants to move past this and make sure that the message gets out that these kinds of things, of domestic violence, are not acceptable. And that he has accepted responsibility and continues to do so and embraces this as an opportunity for him to get his life back on track and his career back on track."
Judge Schnegg said of the ruling, "I want Mr. Brown to be treated the same as any other defendant who would come into this court. That means something like Caltrans [trash pickup] or graffiti removal."
Rihanna entered the courtroom as soon as Brown was finished being sentenced. the judge explained the deal to Rihanna, who was wearing a black dress and pearls. The only words spoken by her were “Thank you, your honor.”
Chris Brown will appear in court on August 5th where the court will drop the second charge of making a criminal offense.
