It's official, Chris Brown has reached plea deal in the assault case that involves him and ex-girlfriend Rihanna. It was announced on Monday, June 22, that the male R 'n' B performer will avoid jail time in the much talked February 8 incident and will instead be sentenced to five years probation and 180 days of community labor to be served in his home state Virginia.
Chris, additionally, will have to complete a year of domestic violence classes, and pay fines. He was also ordered to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna, except at industry gatherings when the distance is shortened to 10 yards, and not to have any contact with her, which includes phone, e-mail and text communications. His formal sentencing is set for August 5 later this year, at time of which the court will drop one of the felony charges he is facing, that is making criminal threats.
Detailing Chris' community service, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg who accepted his plea ordered Chris to clean up graffiti or roadside trash. The judge required him to return to California every three months to check in with authorities. Chris will face four years in prison should he violate the term of his probation.
Commenting on the reached plea deal, Chris' attorney Mark Geragos told reporters, his celebrity client is "very thankful to all the people who've been very supportive." Mark continued, "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."
Chris Brown faced two felonies; assault and making criminal threats, for assaulting Rihanna during a heated argument back in early February this year. He initially faced a possible 4 years and 8 months in prison should he is found guilty for both charges. Rihanna, who briefly appeared before the judge during the Monday's hearing, was told that she was also the subject to the order of not making contact with Chris. She could be in violation should she contact him. "Rihanna was advised of the agreement and had no objection to it," her attorney, Donald Etra, told reporters outside the courthouse.

guys guys i shouldn't be in any trouble, drop charges? if you don;t i will bash u
Bree come on why you talking this way did you want Chris to go to jail?????No...well you've said it all that you a ashamed of yourself..Chris go on with your life and live the so called Rihanna alone...coz i dont think you are meant 4 each other....
this is scandalous. He's a criminal and gets no jail time just because a bunch of greedy lawyers and even more thirsty for money record industries people PAY for him to stay free?? Absurd, and revolting. In all this I blame Miss Rihanna Fake I can't sing a note straight cos she did EVERYTHING for avoiding this disgusting individual get what he deserved. She is truly an idiot, she is good probably just to fake orgasms on stage, and work a stripper pole like no other. This entire story shows once more if you have money, and army of idiot and brainless followers who keep thinkin you're cool even though you are a ass*ole with no brain or dignity, well you can be free even though you almost beat somebody else's to death. And again, the bottom and sadder line of all this is that the one you've almost killed HELPED you stay free. Rihanna is a shame for females. Chris Brown is and forver be an immature criminal destined to repeat all this (but probably increase security so we will get an harder time in knowing about his felonies again). I am ashamed for the Justice system. i am ashamed for Rihanna. I am ashamed for all Chris Monkey fans who keeps thinkin he's worthy anything different than jail time. And I am already ashamed for all those in the media supporting this circus about these two worthless people. Disgusting.
You forgot to mention that she really, really didn't want the "no contact order" and it will be revisited in August!
