Description
Sketches from inside Chris Brown's preliminary court hearing at the Criminals Court Buliding in Los Angeles. A lawyer for Chris Brown told a judge this afternoon that a plea deal has been reached in the case stemming from the R&B singer's alleged attack on pop singer Rihanna -- his then-girlfriend -- in February. The announcement came as the 20-year-old entertainer was scheduled for a preliminary hearing on one felony count each of assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and criminal threats. He'll spend 180 days probation in Virginia and he'll get 5 years probation for Felony assault. He'll get supervised probation. He must also enroll in a domestic violence counseling program.
