Chris Brown Pleads Guilty to Assault Charges.
Remember the Chris Brown/Rihanna drama? Well, Brown reached a plea deal admitting that he assaulted girlfriend Rihanna with the intent to do "great bodily harm."

via CNN.

Under terms of the agreement, Brown will serve five years of probation and must serve 180 days in jail or the equivalent -- about 1,400 hours -- in "labor-oriented service," said Sandi Gibbons, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office. He must also undergo a year-long domestic-violence counseling class, she said.
Brown's sentence is comparable to other felony sentences when the defendant has no previous record, she said.


I think it is good that he at least plead guilty to one charge of assault but I am still conflicted on the long-term effectiveness of the sentence.

2. HIs labor oriented service will probably consist of
studio time spent creating and producing anti-domestic violence rap videos.

3. "Brown's sentence is comparable to other felony sentences"
That's the only good thing.
