LOS ANGELES — A last-minute plea deal was just announced between Chris Brown and the state of California in the singer's felony assault case for the incident involving his former girlfriend Rihanna, MTV News has learned live from inside the courtroom.
Brown, accompanied by his lawyer, pleaded guilty to the charges, and Judge Patricia M. Schnegg has sentenced him to 180 days of community labor, to be served in the singer's native Virginia.
Both Brown and Rihanna were present in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday afternoon (June 22) where the "Umbrella" singer was expected to testify. Rihanna had been subpoenaed by the district attorney's office and was expected to break her silence about the February incident that allegedly left her battered and bruised by Brown.
She did not testify, however, and the judge issued a five-year "stay away" order to Brown and said Rihanna would be entering the courtroom once Brown exited.
