R&B singer Chris Brown can breathe a sigh of relief today; he will
avoid jail time for assaulting his pop star ex Rihanna before the
Grammys. Instead, he will do community service in his home state of
Virginia, be on probation for five years, stay 50 yards away from
Rihanna, and be officially recognized as a felon. That is thanks to
his hotshot celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos, who struck a plea bargain
before today's hearing, which was supposed to see Rihanna testify.
I'm sure Breezy's fans are cheering in the streets right now, but did
he really deserve the leniency for such a serious assault. He already
has been let off by a majority of the media, his fans, and
celebrities, and there are some who thought he would finally receive
"justice" in the eyes of the law.
Honestly, while Chris does deserve a little more than garbage cleanup
and som anger management classes, I'm not particularly for him in the
slammer. My hope is that he gets SERIOUS help for his anger issues
(therapy seems like a necessity at this point) and learns from his
major mistake. I know he is, but he should consider this a serious
gift. He should also focus his energies on his new album, which is due
later this year.
Of course, through that, we'll see how many people really support him.
