[...] here’s my question for ya’ll, after pleading guilty on felony assault charges of his then girlfriend RIHANNA, is it safe to say that Brown’s real-life legal drama helped [...]

I think they felt they needed to walk a fine line between trying to appease the public, give Rihanna a sense of justice and making sure Chris was somewhat treated fairly. IDK, I think in the end it was fair, the probation period was mad long but there’s no jail time. Plus he will carry the ‘convicted felon’ title his entire life. It will effect everything.

That’s a lot for him to be get over just hitting her. I don’t condone his behavior at all but honestly, that was just a little much. I know guys who have beat their girlfriends repeatedly (we are no longer friends), and all they got was a slap on the wrist compared to what he got. 5 years of probation? Try 3 months. What is the world coming to? That’s just a little too much and I don’t even like Chris Brown. SMH.

I think he got the correct sentence under our law. A slap on the ‘wrist’ cause she ain’t dead or permanently damaged. That’s the way it is here in my opinion. The real test in my opinion is let’s wait to see if he’ll be charged beating someone else’s daughter, the see the sentencing on round#2

Shoot…even if she is killed, there’s still a chance of the man getting off…Drew Peterson, anybody?

Unfortunately, domestic violence repercussions in the US legal system is not a deterrent. I am glad it’s over and that this didn’t turn into another OJ scene down here in LA LA land.

Was he treated fairly, yes; he was crucified in the media who went on half information and vindicated by the silence of Rihanna who refused to confirm what actually happened.

I hope he serves his time and has learned his lesson. I truly hope he never walks into court again as the defendant or even as a plaintiff.

Well… after all the publicity and so on, I’m glad it’s over. Yeah, this is pretty much his first (and hopefully last) account of such a case. That sentencing is fair.

But now, it’s public opinion. He’ll got to work harder and eventually, this will be all but a memory.

I agree, unless the woman is killed…And we’re not taking into account that this was his first offense

Yeah, under our legal system he was treated fairly…you don’t get much for violence against women…I may be wrong, but sorry, light sentences are all I’ve seen or heard of…
