Chris Brown Cops Plea -- No Jail Time
TMZ.com ^ | 06/22/09 | TMZ Staff

Chris Brown has copped a plea in his assault case. He won't do jail time, but he will spend 6 months doing things like road cleanup. He's also been ordered to stay 50 yards clear of Rihanna.He'll spend 180 days doing community labor (8 hours a day -- 1440 hours total) -- which is, in effect, hard labor. He'll do his service in Virginia which is where Brown lives. A Virginia law enforcement officer told us Brown will be picking up trash, pulling weeds and washing fire trucks.

He gets 5 years probation for FELONY assault -- he pled guilty. He'll get supervised probation. He'll have to come back to court every three months.

He must enroll in a domestic violence counseling program.

This is interesting ... the judge said if Brown and Rihanna are at the same public events, the 50-yard stay away turns into 10 yards. The stay away order lasts 5 years.

The judge said she wanted to make sure that Chris Brown "was treated as any other person who comes through this court."

If Brown violates probation, he could get up to 4 years in prison.

Rihanna is in the courthouse but never entered the courtroom.

So Brown is now a convicted felon and loses the the following rights: To own a gun, to sit on a jury, subject to search and seizure without a search warrant and he now has limitations on travel.

When Brown left the courtroom ... Rihanna walked in the courtroom. The judge explained the deal to her. The judge is telling Rihanna about the protective orde

No jail time, but very, very tough and long probation, plus a lot of real community service and a FELONY plea. Very impressive for the LA County District Attorney's office.

Bring him on down to Mississippi and he can do his road work this summer! Already hitting 100F. If I was in charge I would make sure it was on some really dusty back roads.

That’s actually harsh, by celebrity’s standards.

It will kill him not beign able to attend the award shows if she is there. He should o jail time but taking the adoration away from a preformer and that might hurt more than jail time would!

You call that tough? My prediction: she will go back with him, more trouble,.... etc. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown all over again.

I agree. If she invites him in while the stay-away order is in effect, does that mean he'll go to jail?

If she invites him in and he shows up, they should both go to jail IMHO!

If there were laws against Stupidity, well.....:):)... you know.

Yes, I’m pretty sure Chris would end up in slammer if he and she got within 50 yards of each other.

People don’t think very well in these situations.

All “rap” music talks about are money, drugs, bitches and hoes.

And the rap “world” waxes indignant when one of their own just follows what their own “songs” preach.

Understatement award!

I think she'll encourage him to violate the terms of the settlement, because she LUVS him. Dingbat. If it takes jailing him to keep him from killing her, in spite of herself, well, that's what we pay the justice system for.

Yeah, “luv” is sick, isn’t it?
But in this case, justice may save the guilty parties from themselves.
