On June 22 2009 popular singer/dancer Chris Brown pleads guilty in the assault case against his former girlfriend, pop diva, Rihanna.Brown gets 180 days in a labor oriented program in Virginia and 5 years probation for felony assault. He also must enroll in a domestic violence problem.
The judge also issued a Stay Away Order barring Chris Brown from contacting or coming within 50 yards of Rihanna during his 5 years of probation, although this could be revised in August when the judge renders her sentencing of Chris Brown. Rihanna doesn't want that order applied to Chris. If the two are at the same event the stay away order is reduced to 10 yards.
If Chris Brown violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison. Brown now is a convicted felon and loses the right to vote or carry a gun. All-in-all that still beats going to prison . . . Celebrity Justice is alive and well. Let's just hope Chris Brown will learn his lesson and become a better person. He has been given a second change in life. Good for him!
