No Jail Time for Chris Brown, Enters Plea Agreement

chris-brown-plea.png A couple hours before today's trial, R&B Singer Chris Brown entered into a plea agreement for pleading guilty to assault while the criminal threats charges were dropped. Under the agreement, Brown will do six months of "community labor" (that's 1400 hours of work), serve five years probation and take a year-long domestic violence prevention class, according to the LA Times. He will also have to stay at least 50 yards away from Rihanna except at industry events where it will be set to 10 yards.

Maybe he'll do his hours at Project Angel Food, that'd be fun...

1400 hours takes a little more than half a year at full time. We could use him.

Wonder how many regular civilians beat the sh*t out of their girlfriends and get no prison time. We'll all shake our heads when he's photographed with future girlfriends ala OJ.

At least he's getting some help.

Note to self: Become rich and famous before doing anything illegal.
