Chris Brown Gets Five Years Probation for Beating Rihanna
Chris Brown has reached a plea bargain in his felony assault case for beating Rihanna last February.
The singer, 20, will receive five years probation for felony assault. He'll also spend 180 days doing community labor in Virginia. He'll also home to Virginia, his home stage, his lawyer, Mark Geragos, announced in court.
Rihanna did not have to testify.
Brown arrived at a downtown Los Angeles court at 1:30 PDT this afternoon for the hearing. He was escorted inside the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center by eight uniformed officers and a bodyguard.
See photos of stars in court.
Brown -- who donned a gray striped suit, brown shoes and striped tie -- appeared solemn, according to a witness. His mother followed behind him. The duo were both looking down.
Rihanna -- who wore a black dress, sunglasses and pearls -- was present at court, but never entered the courtroom.
Look back at Chris and Rihanna's happier days.
Brown turned himself into police in February for allegedly beating Rihanna. He was charged with two felonies.
Story developing.

5 years probation and community service doesn't seem nearly enough to compensate what he did to her.

I agree.
Sounds like a slap on the wrist if you ask me...

But I think it is because SHE isn't the one who brought the case to light. The county sherrif did.

That's what happens when the woman you beat refuses to cooperate with the law.

Re: Chris Brown Gets Five Years Probation for Beating Rihanna
i can sympathize with rihanna - the pain and agony of a trial may have been too much to her to deal with and that is why the prosecution offered him probation instead of jail time.
i don't care what the sentence is, as long as he never does it again - and it would be nice to see him speak out against domestic violence once his sentence is over!
