NEWS: CHRIS BROWN SENTENCED TO PROBATION + COMMUNITY LABOR

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

On Tuesday, singer/actor Chris Brown was sentenced to five years of probation and 180 days of community labor to be served at the Commonwealth Catholic Charities in Richmond, Virginia.

Brown was charged with two felonies for assault in February on then girlfriend, pop star Rihanna.

He reached a plea deal with prosecutors in June that limited his sentence to probation and no jail time. The 20-year-old is required to take a yearlong domestic violence prevention class and was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Rihanna for the next five years unless they are both at an entertainment-related event, in which case he must stay 10 yards away.

Brown must pay $2,500 in restitution and another $2,500 in probation expenses. He must also pay a $30 criminal conviction fee and $400 that goes into a domestic violence fund. He faced a maximum of five years in prison had he been convicted.

LOL @ him having to pay a fee for getting convicted, and a domestic violence fund fee.

YAY for you Breezy, no jail time :-D ..although, 5 years probation is way too much.

NOW IT’S TIME TO BE GREAT CHRIS, BE GREAT! ;-)

Glad hes in the dv classes because he really does need them. I doubt they will help tho. It seems like he doesnt want to change his ways unless its to save face or save his career and image. He thinks hes above the law. But maybe the classes will help him realize his issues.
Having a P.O. might actually help him slow down on the drinking too.
Maybe now we can get a break from him also

Maybe we can also get some street justice

5 years prob is way too much. They wanted to lock him up so bad. I do feel sorry for him, hopefully he gets his career together. I would also like him to make some gospel music if he can. Young men need to come back to the Lord

But it seems he will do anything for his career
Hes an opportunist!

YOU LIVE & YA LEARN. PUTTING YOUR HANDS ON A WOMAN IS UNACCEPTABLE ON EVERY LEVEL! I HOPE RIHANNA HAS LEARNED TOO CAUSE SHE NEEDS SOME GUIDENCE, THEIR TEAMS ARE SLOPPY AND DOES NOT HAVE EITHER OF THEIR INTEREST AT HEART. ALLOWING THEM TO SNEAK AROUND AGANIST THE COURTS ORDER?? CHRIS WILL LEARN THE HARD WAY, IF THEY EVER GET CAUGHT. 5YRS PRO…COULD HAVE BEEN JAIL AND YOU YOUNG GIRLS WHO BLAME RIHANNA NEED PARENTAL GUIDENCE ALSO.

I heard on the radio that the judge wanted Chris to serve actual jail time but I forgot about the plea deal so I thought he actually might have to serve time.

Oh well, I really don’t care about this Chris Brown & Rihanna situation anymore.
Up until like June I was on “Team Rihanna” but I could care less now.
I see him differently now but I hope he learned his lesson.

He does look very nice - his ‘light hair’ looks a little weird though.

Can you really see Rihanna being around for 5 years? I hope he just doesn’t slip up because ain’t nobody worth going to jail over male or female..he and Rihanna need to just move on to the next because this soap opera isn’t going to work.

# 10 BK GIRL,

“YOU YOUNG GIRLS WHO BLAME RIHANNA NEED PARENTAL GUIDENCE ALSO.”

—-
I agree, soo many girls blame Rihanna and give Chris Brown a pass because they say it was “her fault.” Uhh hello - no man should ever put his hand on a woman but they foolishly blame her and think what Chris Brown did was “justified” because of Rihanna’s supposed actions.

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 /

So glad this is over. I’m glad the both of them didn’t drag this out anymore than it already was. So glad Rihanna didn’t play like a victim to all of this, doing that just would have stirred up more unnecessary sh*t and she knows her haters would love to see her feeling hurt and abused so I’m so glad she didn’t do it.

Wow 5 years probation is kind of long.

28.

annie :o)

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 /

the sentence is a bit harsh but i’m so happy this thing is finally over with!!

and as far as that police report goes, notice it’s only Rihanna’s side of the story (i’d like to hear Chris’ side too) it’s not like she’s the little “innocent angel” in this whole thing. there are reports that she’s hit on him too, numerous times during the relationship (why do u think his mugshot never came out?: he prolly had bruises and scratches too). so they both have anger issues that they need to work out and both are violent and Chris shouldn’t be crucified over this… Rihanna obviously has some fault too.

anyway, i will always be a fan and i wish Chris the best of luck. can’t wait til that album comes out! :)

Chris Brown got a fair sentence I believe so its good this mess finally over. I just hope he really stays focus and completes his probation without any distractions. 5 year probation is a long time for a first-time offender, but oh well he should really pray and be thankful he’s not next to T.I. right now.

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 /

Just read on TMZ what he did to Rihanna and it brings tears to my eyes. And to think I was going to forget what he did and support him. Maybe he’s sorry for what he did, but damn that was just plain evil. How could he do that? Especially when he saw the pain his mother went through?

He really needs prayer. We should all forgive but not forget or think this type of behaviour is acceptable because it isn’t. It’s sickening and only monsters attack others in this manner.

I think it’s sad that people will still support him after this. SMH. Where is the justice?

33.

FallBackHaters

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 /

I’m stuck in two minds over this. I think after some time has passed then I may be able to tolerate Chris again- not for now though.

Just because he may look attractive DOESN’T erase his woman beater rep. Monsters can easily be disguised!!!

T M Z has the breakdown..according to the police report Rihanna didn’t hit Chris, she hit her hands on the dashboard not him and that’s when he started beatin her azz. He stopped after hittin her in the eye, then started back beatin when Rih called Melissa and pretended to talk to her.

This wasn’t the first time they’d gotten violent, rihanna did slap him one time, but guess he showed her, he shoved her into a wall..and trashed a Range Rover when they had issues on a third occasion.

So Chris’ violence was escalating when this incident occurred. Among the other parts of his sentence, Chris will have to attend domestic violence classes for one YEAR. I truly home he receives help, I hope Rihanna gets some help also, she stayed with him for several months after the first violence when he shoved her, chick shoulda been ghost then.

There is no excuse for this scenario, I hope both can go on to continue their careers, but in Chris’ case “ION know..”. SMH!

@AshleyNikole >>>

That’s NOT her statement NOR is it a “POLICE REPORT”! Everyone, that’s the same CELL PHONE WARRANT! TMZ is trying to fool everyone cause her REAL statement will soon come out! And in THAT statement, to which TMZ even admitted to, Rhianna was the INITIATOR of the violence, and the AGGRESSOR on Feb 8th AFTER she read CBrown’s cell phone text messages from another woman!!

So please, don’t be fooled by TMZ, they’ve fooled you enough! There is nothing “new” in that “blow by blow”, and to be totally honest, it’s all hearsay cause if you read it, AT NO PLACE ON IT DO YOU SEE RHIANNA’S SIGNATURE! That’s because that’s NOT her statement to the cops!!! The only names you see on that cell warrant are Deshon Andrews and Patricia Schnegg - the judge and the detective!

I am disgusted by all of this. As a parent, DO NOT let your kids watch you being abused. Because when they act out, you own some of that misery. He really does need the domestic violence classes and some therapy too. He’s got a lot of rage. And for Rhi, to let him hit her the first time, tells me she needs help too.

LMFAO @ people going on TMZ.com trying to get “valid” information.

PLEASE! TMZ is full of shit… they’ll do and say anything for a “story”. Like the false shit they reported today about Juelz Santana.

People, don’t be so gullible, and judgmental.

I hope he’s learned his lesson. Now he can move on and live his life. He needs love and support too. But 5 years probation is absolutely ridiculous IMO.

I’m so disappointed in black women. I was on Twitter earlier, and so many or siding with Chris and blaming Rihanna. This is setting black women back further than they already are. If these “supporters” are to ever be involved in a Domestic Violence situation, please don’t yell victim you ignoramuses.

And to read some of these comments that are saying 5 years prob. is too much. A regular Joe would get instant jail time for the abuse he placed upon Rihanna. I’m not taking either side b/c she is being a coward by not speaking out on what happened, but regardless, he did beat her, and no time can ease the scars he has placed on her for the rest of her life.

Chris Brown is a punk! Plain and simple. What kind of man bites a female? That is some extra zesty sh!t! TMZ has no reason to lie on this fool. He’s not that big. He did it all. That’s why he took a plea. That’s why he apologized and that’s why he is singing songs to Rihanna about how he has changed. Lmao @ the groupies still saying she hit him first. Even Chris hasn’t said that happened. Where you getting your facts from? Your a$$?

The article didn’t mention that Rihanna’s lawyer had previously asked that the restrictions on communication and contact between the two singers be lifted. I think that’s an important fact. She doesn’t want the damn restriction! Her lawyer also said she could go to court to ask that it be removed.

Add that, and the fact that days after the event they were shackin’ up at Diddy’s house, the fact that Rihanna never pressed charges, Rihanna never testified against Chris, Chris as apologized to Rihanna several times, so obviously they are still talking, and they have been seen in the same places at the same time recently and what do you get?

Rihanna obviously doesn’t want it to be over, she’s never given any indication that she hasn’t forgiven Chris. If she wants to take him back, that’s her business.

And this judge is on a witch hunt! Any other man would have gotten a misdemeanor for his first offense. This sentence is overkill.

Isn’t this what we already knew from the plea agreement? What’s different? Am I missing something? And I can’t believe people are saying that probation is too harsh! He’s lucky. That is nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

Tuesday, August 25, 2009 /

He is lucky he is not in jail. That 5 year probation period means that he must be very careful or it is lockdown central. Hope the classes work.. he messed up.. live and learn, Chris..

Unlike some folks up in here, I shall never make any excuses for his behavior but I also believe in redemption.. so, CB, wishing you all the best AND DON’T DO IT AGAIN. Wishing both him and Rihanna the best (and healing).

That sounds about right. They can’t fathom that their man could do something like this, so they make up their own facts. How sad that even with Chris owning up to what he did, these silly little girls are still defending him and blaming Rihanna.

and at the end of the day, it does not matter what some teeny boopers are posting on Twitter or on blogs trying to side with either party. The court of law has spoken. Stamped, sealed and delivered. A rational person would look upon the situation with concern and pray that neither have to go through this again. Domestic violence is a cancer in our society. Punishment has been given and healing must now commence.

@ 58. If Rihanna hit him, she was wrong. Very wrong. And Chris was also very wrong for what he did. However, he was the one on trial. Rather than laying the blame, people should be praying that both can learn from this situation. I am not really a fan of either one of them but I wish both of them well.

YOU HAVEN’T HEARD HER SAY A DAMN THING SO ALL THAT B.S. IS JUST RUMORS AND WISHFUL THINKING ON THE PART OF THE CHRIS STANS. THEY REALLY WANT HER TO BE STALKING THAT BOY. WHY SHOULD SHE? SHE HAS BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT. MOVED ON. WHY CAN’T THE CHRIS BROWN STANS MOVE ON TOO? HE HAS NOTHING RIHANNA WANTS OR NEEDS…..NEXT!!!!!!

Which is why it does not matter what anyone says. The courts have spoken. He is now a convicted criminal for acts he confessed to doing. I wish people understood how the law works. There are consequences for your actions and hopefully, people learn from these consequences.

“Donald Etra, an attorney for the “Umbrella” singer, had previously asked the judge for lesser restrictions on communication and contact between the two singers.”

“Etra added that Rihanna does have the option of asking the court to soften the stay-away order down the line, but he wouldn’t say if she plans to do so.”

No TMZ there, just real quotes from Rihanna’s own camp.

I get what Chris did was wrong, but let’s remember who the victim here is! If Rihanna herself has said that she didn’t want a restriction on communication and contact with Chris Brown why would the judge go against the wishes of the victim and order it anyways? Just trying to make an example out of Chris.

If Rihanna didn’t want anything to do with Chris I’d be all about supporting her decision, but she’s made it clear that’s not the case, and I support her in that decision too.

He isn’t the only one who need DV classes because she is violent also. The probation report talks about and incident in Europe where she slapped him during an argument and he push her supposedly into a wall. She is violent also and this is not the last time your going to hear about her either beat down or involved in a fight.
