Rihanna’s Father: Chris Brown Should Be in Jail for Assault

After suffering a brutal attack at the hands of her former boyfriend, Chris Brown, Rihanna was left bruised bloodied and was left almost unconscious on the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards. After being charged with felony assault and making criminal threats, Chris Brown has not been sentenced to jail. Instead he faces 5 years of probation, 180 days of community labor and a no-contact clause.

Rihanna’s father, Ronald Fenty is less than pleased about the court’s decision. He thinks that they should have given Chris jail time. According to him, Chris got off easy.

He complains, "Chris should have been sent to jail for what he did to my girl. He’s got off lightly. Chris put her through hell, she’s just relieved it’s all over."

I can’t really say that I disagree with him. I though his sentence might have been a little to lenient. I mean, he really almost killed her. What do you guys think? Did Chris get away easy?
