According to the judge in the case,Chris Brown should be commended for taking "responsibility" for his "conduct."And Rihanna is "pleased" with the fact that he will only get a 5-yr. probation & community work.

Some people are outraged by the outcome of this case.I say that it is up to Rihanna to be "pleased" or "outraged".She's the one that got the crap beat out of her.Not me.Here's more from The Times Online:

"As his ex-girlfriend Rihanna was preparing to testify against him in a US court yesterday, American R&B singer Chris Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting the pop star in February.

Brown entered his plea to one count of assault before a preliminary hearing – which was attended by Rihanna – was set to begin in Los Angeles.

The 20-year-old spoke softly throughout the hearing as he waived his rights and told the Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg he understood the gravity of his plea.

“I think it's commendable you took responsibility for your conduct,” Judge Schnegg told the singer.

Brown will be sentenced in August, but the terms of the plea deal call for him to serve five years of formal probation and six months — roughly 1,400 hours — of community labour. Brown will be able to complete his probation in his home state of Virginia; he will have to do either graffiti removal or roadside cleanup for his service.

He will also complete a year of domestic violence classes, and pay fines. In exchange, he pleaded guilty to felony assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury. If he violates his probation, Brown faces four years in jail."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.
