Yesterday (Monday June 22) Chris Brown and Rihanna finally went to court for the beating that took place in February. In a plea deal Brown plead guilty to felony assault charges and received no jail time!! The R&B singer instead recieved 5 years probation, 180 hours of community service and he will have to sign up for domestic abuse classes.

According to MTV:

Chris was also issued a “stay away” order by Judge Patricia Schnegg that requires the singer to avoid his former girlfriend for the next five years, according to Rihanna’s attorney.

Donald Etra told a group of reporters outside the courthouse that his client didn’t think the “stay away” order was necessary. Rihanna was previously granted an order of protection against Brown, but the pair briefly reunited at a Miami mansion owned by Diddy following the alleged assault.

Under the guidelines of the order, Etra said the pair won’t be able to have even a distant, cordial relationship. Brown cannot contact Rihanna at all, while Rihanna reaching out to Brown would be considered a violation on Brown’s part, punishable by law. Should they both appear at an event, Brown would be required to stay at least 10 yards away from his former girlfriend.

Etra said the order was issued for the duration of Brown’s five-year probation, although the judge said she would reconsider the issue when Brown is sentenced in August.

To be honest I'm not surprised by the lack of jail time, Chris Brown isn't the first guy to get away with whooping his girlfriend's ass and he won't be the last. Rihanna is also not the first dummy to take her man back after getting her ass handed to her.
