Chris Brown has copped a plea deal to his felony assault case where he was charged with beating up on-again-off-again girlfriend Rihanna.
The 'Forever' singer pleaded guilty and will spend 180 days doing community labor in a Virginia domestic violence program. He will also serve five years probation and return to court every three months.
Around 1:30 PM PST, the popular R&B singer arrived to a downtown Los Angeles courtroom, where he was greeted by a sea of paparazzi and news media outlets.
TMZ reported that his attorney Mark Geragos met with the prosecutor and judge prior to Brown's arrival.
Rihanna was subpoenaed to testify at at the preliminary hearing. The Barbados-born 'Covergirl' spokesperson was present at the courthouse, but according to TMZ, never entered the actual courtroom proceedings.
If Brown violates probation, he could face up to four years in prison.

lots of black women are stupid if they believe these stinkin white crackers are really concerned
about their well being because of situations like chris brown has,they only want to see black people seperated.white people can't stand seeing a nice
beautiful successful black couple togeither in love
they hope jay-z does something negative so they can
drive a wedge between them.white people think the
the black race is something they can take what they
want from and throw what they don't want in the trash.blackwomen who date whitemen is trash how can
they stand sleeping with them they stink like dogs
with that disgusting pale skin.having half white
babbies is stupid it doesn;t look good its a destruction of the black race.

Wow,
I cant believe all of this has happened. I mean i have been like his 1 fan since like for ever. He really deserves a second chance. Listen peeps how would it feel if one of you did something really terrible and couldn't have forgiveness or at least a second chance. Why don't all of you think about how you all would feel if you were in his position right now and all of this happened to you plus if you couldn't even get a second chance I know I would feel really ashamed and sad I would go crazy if everybody was against me for one thing that i did. I would sort of feel like a nobody. You have to give him a second chance because everybody deserves a second chance. Now Rhianna is awesome and all but if she had not have did or said Wat ever she did or said things would be OK I just wish I could go back and time and talk to him and tell him what was going to happen and warn him to be careful that's Wat i wish a lot of times like just with Micheal Jackson I wish I could go back in time and tell him to wait for his doctor to tell him to take the medicine instead of Wat he did. Well my point is I just wish everybody could agree with me. One person cant just change all of this if everybody could just agree with means Chris Brown did not have to go to jail and all of this could be cleared I would just be so happy. He really needs a second chance. Everybody to me needs a second chance even after they kill somebody they deserve a second chance. Chris brown deserves a second chance so that he can correct him self. Peeps do learn from their mistakes he really needs a second chance because its not like beating up peeps is something he does regularly like some kind of a schedule or something. He did it once so why cant everybody forgive him and let him have a second chance
