Chris Brown Charged With Two Felonies

Sandra Rose March 5, 2009

As predicted, woman beater Chris Brown has been officially charged with two felonies. The LAPD and the L.A. County prosecutor’s office have come under fire recently for allowing evidence from the case to be sold to the highest bidder. They have since built a solid case against Chris Brown, who will most certainly do time in this case:

From TMZ.com:

The L.A. County District Attorney has just charged Chris Brown with felony assault and making a criminal threat, also a felony.

The charging documents name “Robyn F.” as the alleged victim.

Brown will be arraigned today at 3:30 PM in downtown LA.

A spokesperson for the D.A. tells TMZ he could face a maximum of four years and eight months in prison.

Story developing…

Krysi J

So you’re saying CNN.com should have this information if its news right?
Fenix6376

MSNBC has it on their site Krysi J.
iscream

Up the river without a paddle..

Damn, young boy had it all. Now his life is basically fuc’d because he’s young, had everything @ his disposal and let the fame make him think he was above the law.

& the fact that big head Rhianna ran back to him & will likely do some of this bid with him I will not (not that I did) support her azz either. She is part of the problem.
Shauny

It’s on several news sites.

2 felonies huh….the saga continues
bonnie

I wonder if Rhianna is going to come with him to the courtroom. Wouldn’t that be a trip?
Charles

He wont do any time sandra

lmao

if he does 2 days in jail woopty doo
Daisy

Everybody is waiting to see if RiRi shows up with him my money is on NO though. Time will tell.

Charles-I will say Chris needs to face the music for his actions. I just dont think his career should end over this. Nobody calls T Howard and Rickey Smiley bitch boys and they BOTH jumped on their wives before in the past and let me not forget Tyrese and she was prg..lol
vipatlstyle

Crazy, Crazy, Crazy that’s all I have to say. Wait CRAZY…I don’t know what happen how it happen who do what however, this is CRAZY. FELONY CHARGES toooooo much
jazi65

He’ll plead out and wont get any time. I hope he gets a judge who will make this case an example to all the other woman beaters out there and demand he attend therapy…not bullchit anger management, actual therapy..I also feel that rih rih needs some counseling as well.
bk2atl

Good for his ass…that’s what he deserves! Bytch made nucca.
starr

I know this is a big story….but honestly….I’m ova it. Rihanna needs help….fo’ reals
intensemocha

mmmmh….that’s all i got to say to all the nay sayers and die hard chris supporters

don’t rush to judge my azz-while trying to make yourself appear so unique and not apart of the mass

in the end that ish was a serious as we speculated all along and now his azz has to face/fight felony charges

whomp, whomp……………..
Daisy

Sandra do you think the post shots of RiRi will be released? I read they are worse than the initial pics. Wonder if that’s true and if we will ever see them. Not saying they should be leaked but it would be interesting.
kcicero

Say it again intense! And still trying to find some sort of loophole/excuse as to why we shouldn’t throw him under the bus. SMH
intensemocha

It’s no longer about rihanna-the crime was committed against the state and with or without her cooperation they have the pics after the incident, her statement to the police, and of course the hospital staff statements.

Hell,I’ve seen niccas go to jail with much less evidence then that-

It’s a wrap for ole boy and they need to make rihanna seek counseling-since she did in fact give those statements and seek medical attention. She shouldn’t get off the hook easy-they should set an example of both their azzez

Dont’ hit women and don’t stay with a man that hits you
carmelita79

I hate how the media misuse legal jargon to make a person practically convicted …. it’s annoying……yes he’s been formally charged but during arraignment, but legally one can only have an arraignment or grand jury trial if they have been charged otherwise there no point! SMH….if a judge or jury decides their is not enough evidence to go to trial then he will be released.

he is facing 8 mos to 4 years if convicted. and since anything over one yr is a felony( which is why T.I. recieved one year and a day due his is guilty plea) he will probably get a year if that.

The people who should be protesting are the women who have been in this situation and watched the man who terrorized them get no time or 6 months in prison for continued abuse and chris brown get none or 1 year.
Daisy

@Intense I still support Chris in the sense that his career shouldnt end over this. I did not and will not nail him to the cross over this ONE incident if it becomes a pattern then yes. Nobody on here(that i recall) was ever supporting him as yall say for hitting her thats all out of order and goes w/o saying.
kcicero

I agree Daisy, I’ve always said that her injuries were probably worse a day later and that they were sure to have taken pictures of that as well.
Daisy

@Intense I forgot to add I have NEVER bought a Chris brown cd but I do JAM to his lil songs..lol
iscream

@ Daisy comment # 2 the difference btw Chris Vs Tyrese, T. Howard & R. Smiley is they beat up women who didn’t have fans. (Which is sad.)

& to anyone trying to make this na na na na na na I was right and you were wrong situation… you are apart of the problem.
bk2atl

^5^5^5^5 @ Intense…we are >>>>>><<<<<<<. We have been saying this from day one, this nucca beat her azz and I hope he gets EXACTLY what he deserves! It’s like some folks refuse to believe he could have done this. Same type of people that don’t believe their man/woman is cheating unless they walk in and find him/her on top of someone else. SMH!
kcicero

According to police reports, Rhianna told them that this was a consistent pattern of abuse that grew more intense with each altercation. People close to her have also said this. So there is already a Pattern establish so I don’t understand your logic Daisy?
http://myspace.com/thatwoodardgirl ndwflorida

Wow, this is crazy to me. all this time I knew she still wanted to be with him, because it was partly her fault too. Now this young man gotta face possible jail time behind some bull ish! Cause now after all this ish she still in LOVE, YOUNG, and dumb!

Thats why I wanted to wait until the story unfolded before throwing darts at him. Grant it, no man or woman should hit, beat, slap, kick, or whatever out of anger to anyone, but some times it takes two.
buttercup24

Charged and convicted are two different things…

Just like there is a difference in condoning something and supporting two young people in a terrible situation.
kcicero

It was wrong when Tyrese did it, Puffy did it, and whoever else is a wife beater pedophile. I don’t support any of those men so again your logic is flawed and now I’m done on the matter. I’ll be sure to raise my children so they both no it is not okay to hit a man/or woman. And I WILL be sure to especially tell my son that IF a female hits him to walk away and if that is not an option to shake some darn sense in to her and then walk away. IT IS NEVER OKAY FOR A REAL MAN TO HIT A WOMAN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
LADYTEA

@Daisy#7 I agree.. He’s not the first to hit a woman.. Not that this is acceptable, but come on, it’s not the end of his life, nor career IMO… Hopefully he’ll be checked by this situation while he’s still young, and learning from this, growing into a better man, and learning to keep his damn hands to himself..
Daisy

@KC that is so very true baby whoever said otherwise..lol
Daisy

@buttercup can you say that again, send a memo, put it on front of a t shirt, get a billboard SOMETHING!!!..lol
bk2atl

@Buttercup…maybe you weren’t on here when this story first broke, but there were a WHOLE BUNCH of people who were outright saying that Rhianna must have done something to deserve getting beat. That is NOT supporting two young people…that is blaming the victim which is dead ass wrong.
intensemocha

@ daisy

yadda, yadda, honey….your opinion and your entitled to it

judging by a previous post earlier you have a certain soft spot for the so called “wounded men” the post where you stated that your mom helps men who have served time in jail
(the at least he’s trying comment sealed it for me)

sweetie if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then it’s a duck-we all have choices in life and those who choose to break the law especially when you are dealing with simple shiat as keeping your hands to yourself, or not taking what’s not yours, etc. basically the shiat we learned in kindergarten then I have very little sympathy for them.

And as long as chris, and r kelly, and other criminal entertainers have avid supporters like you they don’t have ever have to worry about their fan base-now do they

out of order my arse….at the end of the day being charged with a felony is serious rather it be an average citizen or an entertainer-and for the record that’s the fact for your boy and you agreeing with it, or disliking it, or your continous support really doesn’t matter at this point it is what it t…i….is-
kcicero

Lol naw Daisy that was directed at Iscream…alright back to writing my essay I will not be argin with yal folks today, lol.

@ bk I remember girl cause a whole lot of drama. Someone said something about people not being religious enough cause they didn’t pray for Chris…I also was told I looked like a wack, ugly India Arie but that might have been about something else. LMAO.
intensemocha

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER-SOME OF YALL ARE DOWNRIGHT MAD BECAUSE YOU WERE PROVEN WRONG BECAUSE SO MANY OF YOU SAID WAIT BEFORE RUSHING TO JUDGE-THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT OR RIHANNA HAD TO DO SOMETHING AND MANY OF YOU DOUBTED AND ARGUED THAT HE HADN’T EVEN BEEN CHARGED WITH ANYTHING AS IF THAT WAS INDICATION THAT THE EVENT NEVER EVEN TOOK PLACE

DON’T GET MAD EAT YOUR HUMBLE PIE-IF YOUR WRONG YOUR WRONG PLAIN AND SIMPLE-DON’T GET MAD AND LASH OUT AT OTHERS WHO ARE SHEDDING LIGHT ON WHAT YOU STATED PREVIOUSLY

IT TAKES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF MATURITY TO SAY YOU KNOW WHAT-MAYBE THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY ARE ON TOO SOMETHING HERE…LOL

TOO CUTE…ALL THE BACK PEDDLING NOW
bk2atl

@KC…exactly, people on here flip-flop more than a fish outta water. First it was “oh she’s lying he propbably didn’t even hit her that much”, then it was..”well what did she do to provoke him?” and “she probably hit him first”, then it ws “the DA don’t even have enough to charge him so it must not be that bad”. Some people will find any excuse to justify bad behavior when it suits them.
bk2atl

@intense ….. GET OUTTA MY HEAD!!! LOLOL!! I press submit and my post practically mirrors yours…lol!
kcicero

Lol Yal are crazy!! i just hope that the other men who are doing this to their women who are entertainers get their just desserts to. Sooner or later the truth comes out…
intensemocha

mmhh-that’s only because it’s the truth that’s why, we were all here posting when the story first hit and I recall vividly what was being said
iscream

@ KC read my comment AGAIN! I said that the difference btw the men is Chris hit a woman who is famous which is why we are talking about the situation the way we are. I NEVER said that ANY of it was right.

I, personally never knew T Howard beat a woman or Rickey Smiley. I heard about Tyrese but that was the woman who is divorcing him now. & since the wedding came after the alleged beat down I assume is was media hype.

I’ll just end this saying I expected a comment like that from you.
kcicero

? So what does that me “I expected a comment like that from you?” So you know me now? LMAO! Whatever I don’t even understand what those other cases have to do with Rhianna getting her head cracked against the dash board and Chris’s fist…
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

I was just looking back on history and realized that celebrity pedophiles have a much easier time than celebrity woman beaters. R. Kelly is not the first one. Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Russell Simmons and Sharon Tate’s fugitive widow all did the nasty with teens as grown men and married them in some cases with no punishment. Sharon Tate’s widow was convicted and has been on the run for a ridiculous number of years, but he is still a world renowned Oscar Award winning director that many a Hollywood clamor to work with. And now he got the nerve to be asking the US to let him come back without going to jail.

The beaters on the other hand, get taken down. Well if they’re black they do. Ike Turner was ruined by his situation with Tina. OJ was ruined after pics of a battered Nicole circulated. Some of you are too young to remember his acting career, not to mention his Hertz commercials. He has not been able to get work since he beat his wife and the pictures were published. I bet he got anger management too and you see how well that worked out. Terence and Tyrese mean nothing to mainstream media. Them beating their women is not news. Actually had Chris beat a regular chick he might have been ok because he’s not a super duper star either. The fact that he hit Rihanna who is an international crossover superstar is the reason he’s gonna have a hard time coming back from this. The minute Rihanna leaves him her career will bounce back.
kcicero

Well said Bird! Okay I know I said I was done but having just read the Police report and other documents posted on TMZ and I am firmly stating that Chris Brown is a @itch and needs his !ss whooped ASAP! Not only did he bite, punch and slam her head against the window but HE THREW HER CELL PHONE OUT OF THE CAR WHILE DRIVING SO SHE COULDN’T CALL ANYONE. He continued to assault her even though she had her head bowed down between her legs and then put her in a head lock while driving (swerving on the road) and biting her all over. What the hell kind of man does that?!
Songbird27

Good for him! he needs to be taught a lesson cause from what I hear this isn’t the first time and it won’t be the last and she is just as weak for goin’ back to him…that means that she hasn’t realized her worth. She’s worth more than a little insecure little BOY slapping her around when he feels like it! They mostly likely will break a deal and he won’t learn anything.
iscream

@ Bird don’t forget about the director who married his step daughter Sun Ye. (John Lennon’s ex wife) wasn’t she like 14 years old @ the time.
Shauny

Bird you forgot Woody Allen who famously married his own adopted daughter. Sharon Tate’s widow is Roman Polanski.

I’d never heard until today of Tyrese or Terrence H beating woman. Tyrese pulling Jody’s huh? I can’t see Terrence whipping a male or female. I see a woman having a good chance of hanging in there with him.

Fenix6376

@ intensemocha

I am not back peddling. I stand by what I said before.. There is no need to rush to judgement and he hadn’t been charged. Those were the facts and I work off of facts not hear say.All the gossip and inside sources a not admissable. It is not about being right or wrong.Has he been charged? Is there more information available, official and sworn statement? Yes. So now I can form an educated opinion regarding his actions. I would hate to be a jury with you, since you obviously make up your mind before you have all the facts of case..

The SWORN statement by the detective rocked me to the core. I can’t believe anyone could make it through something like that let alone go back to the person that did it. It’s awful and I hope he prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

Oh my damn. I just read the full account on CNN. Chris truly f*cked her up from head to toe. Literally. Damn.

Hello Fam

Chris Brown apologists, now hear this:

I DON’T WANNA HEAR ANOTHER MUTHAFUGGIN WORD FROM YALL IGNANT AZZ FOOLS ABOUT WHAT RIHANNA DID TO CAUSE CHRIS TO FCUK HER UP.

RIHANNA DIDN’T DO nothin TO CAUSE THIS.

I LOVED CHRIS AS MUCH AS YOU, HE IS A DAMN criminal.

HE NEEDS SERIOUS JAIL TIME AND THERAPY.

RIHANNA IS A victim not A STUPID BITCH FOR TAKING HIM BACK. IT’S AN ILLNESS PEOPLE, IT’S CALLED BATTERED PARTNER SYNDROME

SHE NEEDS HELP, NOT CRITICISM

SHE WILL GET THAT HELP WHILE HER MAN CHRIS BROWN is in jail

WORD IS BOND
mjoylaw

WHERE KRYSI J AT AND ALL THEM OTHER GHETTO CHICKS UP IN HERE DEFENDING CHRIS NOW HUH

THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT

GET SOME ENLIGHTENMENT PEOPLE..DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS REAL, IT AIN JUST A FIGHT OR SOME OLD BOULSHYT

GET WELL RIHANNA AND CHRIS BOTH OF YALL NEED serious help

THIS TOPIC OUGHT TO PROMPT A LOT OF REGULAR PEOPLE WHO’S MINDS ARE SKEWED ON THIS TOPIC TO GET HELP AS WELL
iscream

Uh Mjoy did you just say word is bond….

Lmao. I haven’t heard that since the 90’s.
Fenix6376

@mjoylaw:

I am here.. I defended Chris Brown because all the facts weren’t in. I stand by what I said before, and that was that none of us were there or knew what happened. As I said in my earlier post, not that a sworn affidavit by a peace officer has been released, we have more information that is based on fact.. NOT gossip.

You can yell (all caps), scream (all caps), and feel vindicated because you were ready to throw Chris Brown under the bus at the drop of a hat before the facts and before even the picture was released… But that has nothing to do with Chris Brown or Rihanna.. That has more to do with whatever issues or experiences YOU have had in life.
http://happynappyhead.blogspot.com Seattle Slim

It is what it is. So a couple of guys got lucky and were never incarcerated. Oh well. Chris Brown got caught and just like they should have, he needs to pay seriously for his actions. I don’t know if it will be jail time or in the court of public opinion, but karma’s a b*tch and he needs to get his.

When you and I make mistakes, we have to pay for them. He should be no different. NOBODY should have gotten in the way of him rising to stardom. He had the game on lock over Usher, was on darn near every song, commercials, and he lets his anger ruin it? He was weak to begin with. At that rich, you would have to kill me to ruin my money situation.
Krysi J

Team CHRIS!
iscream

@ Seattle slim that’s the best summary of this ordeal I’ve read so far. Especially the part about him being on top & letting his anger get in the way of his stardom..

It’s a shame because being a woman past the age of 29 I know first hand that your youth is there for you to make mistakes. Hopefully, he learns from this its just too bad he had to loose so much in the process. (& not only him bc he had staff who in these rough times will also now be unemployed.)
http://myspace.com/fla_gyrl_rhia rhiannon

Okay so I just read the police report on TMZ. People still have the audacity to say team Chris! This is crazy! I don’t care what a woman says or how hard they hit a man, there is no reason a man should retaliate and hit a woman as he would a man!!! Even if Rihanna was dead wrong and really did start it. Read the report!! He beat on her like a man then bit her like a b!t@h!!! I held my opinion on the matter until the facts came out. I hope as more facts come out more people will open their eyes. I suppose it’s okay for a man to beat a woman to death if the woman starts it..No I guess some think he should just beat her to remind her of her place. This is RIDICULOUS!!! What goes around comes around…You reap what you sow, he will get it in one way or another.
intensemocha

@Fenix6376

sweetie if you know anything about me-i didn’t base my judgement on hear say

the picture spoke volumes-and that was all the proof I needed

damn some of you mofos all up in arms and looking for somebody to attack because the truth is spilling out-hell don’t get mad at me I didn’t hit anyone but your boy chris certainly did-lol
intensemocha

I challenge you to go back and read all of my post regarding the matter-everything I stated was based on facts and eye witnesses.

I didn’t engage in none of the he say she say-cause it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what happened-when the police already said it, the hospital staff also confirmed it, and the district attorney and detectives pursued charges-none of them are willing to risk their careers or reputation to make up false rumors about chris brown looney behind.
Krysi J

@rhiannon

yeah, yea….I agree with everything you said.

Team Chris!
Shauny

Has it been confirmed yet that the reports that were out are true as well?
Fenix6376

@Shauny

You can download the PDF file of the sworn affidavit from the detective. It was used to secure search warrants for the phone records of Chris Brown, Rhianna, and her pesonal assistant.
Fenix6376

Oops

Forgot to tell you where. Cnn has it.

@intensemocha

First of all Chirsi is not my boy.. And secondly, I am not attacking.. Obviously you have your opinion and I have mine. We disagree. But again, the true facts of the case did not come out until today.. So anyone who formed and opinion or position before now were basing there opinion on hear say, gossip and assumptions. That would include you!!
Daisy

Now that I am home from a hard day at work I can clarify somethings on MY behave.

I stand by everything I have said in any previous post regarding this matter.

I dont know how many times I can say I do NOT condone domestic violence!!!

I have ALWAYS been on team BOTH! Again I say as well if something should pop off again with him and laying hands on a woman I will be the FIRST to nail him to the cross or throw him under the bus but I am NOT going to do that based off this incident. I didnt need a blow by blow of what supposedly happened in the car. The pic alone proved he beat her a@@ and he was dead WRONG for that. I dont have to defend or apologize for Chris. I have my opinion just like everybody else. Since I have ALWAYS been on team BOTH I dont have to backtrack and or eat humble pie. How simple anyway.

I never said she hit him 1st or if she did hit him 1st she needed to get hit or beat back. I do recall some ppl saying such but I was NOT one of them but they are entitled to their opinions as well.

I said as well that Chris needs to face the music and deal with whatever consquences are handed down to him regarding this situation.

@Fenix I agree the FACTS came out today and I had already decided w/o the facts that I would give Chris a 2nd chance so he can try and redeem himself. I pray he gets some serious helps and has learned his lesson.

Last but not least everybody is so quick to throw somebody away after one mistake. What if this were your brother, son, uncle, cousin (for some it probably has been already). I would rather see somebody RISE and REDEEM themselves vs going away to never never land. I hope he does ALOT of work w/ domestice violence and maybe even some PSAs. Same for her.
http://happynappyhead.blogspot.com Seattle Slim

iScream,

I’m sayin’… Just for being that stupid he deserves what he gets. I’d have called Jesus on the mainline before letting Rihanna get in the way. Hell, he had more longevity than she did anyway. Pop tarts come and go…
http://happynappyhead.blogspot.com Seattle Slim

Daisy

You make a good point about redemption. The thing is given the statistics for BW and domestic abuse he is going to get dragged through the mud because Chris and Rihanna just became part of the numbers. I am open to redemption, but cruising in Miami on a jetski and cheesin’ for the cameras is not it. I don’t like T.I. and I am not even sure of his motives, but the fact that he is trying to do something with some youth after his mistake is worth something.
Daisy

Did anybody just see C Breezy in court just now?
Daisy

@seattle I love me some TI and he did NOT start his road to reedemption until AFTER he got off house arrest and finished all his court stuff.

Give Chris time his PR team just like TIs will be ON IT!!
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

Daisy,

Girl you ain’t got to explain nothing! This one has been heated since day one and there is no way that is going to change unless we all agree, which ain’t happenin. Who cares?

Interestingly, the folks on HLN are having the same argument as us to a certain extent. One was sayiing we have to remember that Chris is a victim himself. Not only has his life been destroyed by this, but he was the unfortunate witness of domestic violence against his mother as a child. She was saying people need to take into account that he is a 19 year old boy. Another commentator came back and said no one needs to be thinking of Chris as a victim right now. Rihanna is the victim. All of the commentators were pissed about the jet ski pics.

So there is going to be back and forth. I don’t feel sorry for Chris anymore, but I did at one time so I understand how people can still feel that way. Don’t sweat it sis.
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

I saw him in court. Praise the good Lord in heaven Rihanna wasn’t there supporting him.
iscream

Daisy,

____________________________________________________

Let the church say AMEN!
Daisy

@Bird I was on the fence about the Jet ski pic but knowing that Chris knew what took place that night and that it was going to come out he should have remained MIA for a little while longer. I said on the other post his PR team sucks. He should have made a public apology today at the court house to begin to save this sinking ship. I still feel in the end he will bounce back but it will be a long road.

I don’t think Chris should be looked at as the victim per say but his childhood is real and as my mama would say you can’t change the truth.

Again I pray they both get the help they need. God forbid something else pops off 6mths-1yr from now his career will be toast for real!

Last but not least she might not have been there physically but I do believe she is supporting her man at this time.
