Chris Brown

Chris Brown was formally sentenced today August 25,2009 in a Los Angeles courtroom. He will have to do 180 days of community labor, one year of domestic abuse counseling and also five years of probation. During the next five years he must also stay away from Rihanna, despite Rihanna wanting the restraining order lifted the judge chose to keep it in place. The judge also insenuated that she had heard of the possiblity that him and Rihanna had secret meetings and then asked him if he understood that he will have to stay 100 yards from Rihanna or if they are attending the same entertainment event he must be 10 yards away from her, Chris replied “yes” that he understood the restraining order. He will be allowed to do his community labor and domestic abuse counseling in his homestate of Virginia. In the courtroom he wore a dark pin striped suit and remained stern throughout. He will also have to pay a number of fees and fines and may be subjected to random search and seizures. Do you think this sentencing is severe enough? Should the restraining order have been lifted because Rihanna requested it?
