Rumour – Rihanna started fight, Brown Wants Misdemeanor Plea, No Jail Time

· 18 Comments · News, Rumors ·

Sources tell TMZ Chris Brown will cop a plea, but only to a misdemeanor and with no jail time.

We’re told Brown’s people have consulted with outside legal eagles — including law school professors — who have said Rihanna’s own aggressiveness takes it out of the felony category. Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown “numerous times” while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman. And Rihanna was fighting Brown as he punched and hurt her. We’re told much of this is reflected in the official police report based on what Rihanna told cops. As a result, they say, this is not a case that demands a felony plea.

On the other side, there are plenty of cases in which the woman engages the man in a fight but the jury convicts the male because it was an unfair fight and the man could have walked away. The photographs of Rihanna — the most graphic of which have not been seen by the public — demonstrate Brown’s superior strength. Add to that the fact that Brown had no significant injuries and it presents problems for him.

And there’s this. According to the detective’s note filed with the search warrant papers, Brown sent a text message to Rihanna’s assistant in which he apologized for what he had done to Rihanna and said he was getting help. That would be admissible in court and extremely damaging — as a legal admission.

    I think this situation is getting way out of hand.
    I do not tolerate violence from anyone whether it be a man or woman.
    Rihanna is just as wrong as he is because she hit him first.
    So if you want to bad talk one you should bad talk the other.
    Also i think that people should be ashamed of themselves for comdemning this child the way they are.
    he is only 19 and this will be a learning experience for the both of them.
    it upsets me how a lot of people keep saying that he should never be forgiven.
    First of all GOD forgives everyone and if you are saying that he can never be forgiven then that means that you think that you are better than GOD.
    Also people say that he will never change, once an abuser, always an abuser.
    Those people that are saying that are probably the same ones who voted for Obama and isn’t change what he speaks of?
    So you mean to tell me a whole nation full of racism, and hatred can change, but not one person. People need to think about that.
    They want to call him a hypocrite for what he did, People who are saying he will never change are hypocrites themselves if they voted for change
    on electon day.
    There are ministers and known speakers who have “changed”. They have gone from drug abuse, being pimps, prostitutes and womanizers and now
    they are completley different than they were before. They have chosen to walk in GOD’s faith and have emerged into a testimony.
    Chris Brown can possibly emerge into another one of God’s testimonies.
    If Rihanna wants to give him another chance then let her do that.
    Whatever choice she makes is a choice of hers and she has every right to do as she pleases.
    Leave them both alone and let them work out their own issues. it should be put in GOD’s hands.
    HE is the knower of all and everything happens for a reason. If it is meant to be it will be and if not it won’t.
    People should keep their foul judgement to themselves because no one has the right to judge anyone.
    No one is perfect we all make mistakes, but it is how you learn and grow and “change” after you make those mistakes which determines your
    true character.

    That’s still no excuse even IF this is true pictures don’t lie, he didn’t have to do her like that he could’ve walked away.

  6. ashley says:

    i totally agree with keep it real.

  7. luv says:

    Even if she hit him first, he did not have, according to reports, to beat her so badly, he could have killed her. She’s lucky to be alive. That is why she needs to make the right decision.

  8. Rihanna's biggest fan says:

    That is so true “Keep it real”

  9. Kristy says:

    I agree with you, Keep It Real. There are some individuals who have the “holier than thou” attitude as if its impossible for one to change their habits to become a better person. Neither one of us are ommiscient to say what Chris will do again if he and Rihanna continue to remain in contact – he may hit her again then again he may learn from this and refrain from physically and verbally abusing her. I like the analogy you used with the Obama “change” campaign slogan and Chris wanting to make a change for the better, for there are some hypocrites.

    If she indeed struck him, its rare that a woman will be criticized for her actions especially when she was beaten by a guy. I’m not one to show favoritism toward anyone by justifying the actions of another while crucifying the other defending him or her self. Neither one of them should have laid their hands on each other. THE END.

    Keep It Real seriously needs to stop posting the same messages continuously.
