Domestic violence case

At around 12:30 a.m. (PST) on February 8, 2009, Brown and his then-girlfriend, recording artist Rihanna, had an argument which escalated into physical violence, leaving Rihanna with visible facial injuries which required hospitalization. Brown turned himself in to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Wilshire station at 6:30 p.m. (PST) and was booked under suspicion of making criminal threats.[70] The police report did not name the female in the incident as is policy,[71] but media sources soon revealed that the victim was Rihanna.[72][73][74] Following Brown’s arrest, several commercial ads featuring him were suspended, his music was withdrawn from multiple radio stations, and he withdrew from public appearances, including one at the 2009 Grammy Awards, where he was replaced by Justin Timberlake and Al Green.[72][75][76] Brown hired a crisis management team and released a statement saying, “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.”[77]

On March 5, 2009, Brown was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats.[78][79] He was arraigned on April 6, 2009, and pleaded not guilty to one count of assault and one count of making criminal threats.[80] On June 22, 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to a felony and accepted a plea deal of community labor, five years’ formal probation, and domestic violence counseling.[1] Several organizations against domestic violence criticized the plea deal, advocating the punishment was not severe enough for the crime; the level of Brown’s influence over youth also came under scrutiny.[81][82]

On July 20, 2009, Brown released a two-minute video on his official YouTube page apologizing to fans and Rihanna for the assault, expressing the incident as his “deepest regret” and saying that he has repeatedly apologized to Rihanna and “accepts full responsibility”.[83][84][85] In the video, Brown said he wanted to speak out earlier about the case but was advised by his attorney not to until the legal ramifications were settled.[83][84][85] The video was removed, but is still available online. On August 25, Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and six months of community service; the judge retained a five-year restraining order on Brown, which requires him to remain 50 yards away from Rihanna, 10 yards at public events.[86][87] According to Andy Kellman of Allmusic, “A fairly substantial backlash resulted in Brown’s songs being pulled from rotation on several radio stations. Ultimately, however, it had little bearing on the progress of his music and acting careers.”[4]

On September 2, 2009, Brown spoke about the domestic violence case in a pre-recorded Larry King Live interview, his first public interview about the matter.[88][89][90][91] He was accompanied to the interview by his mother, Joyce Hawkins, and attorney Mark Geragos, as he discussed growing up in a household with his mother being repeatedly assaulted by his stepfather. Brown said of hearing details of his assault of Rihanna, “I’m in shock, because, first of all, that’s not who I am as a person, and that’s not who I promise I want to be.”[88] Brown’s mother said Brown “has never, ever been a violent person, ever” and that she does not believe in the cycle of violence. Brown said that it is “tough” for him to look at the famous photograph released of Rihanna’s battered face, which may be the one image to haunt and define him forever, and that he still loved her.[88] “I’m pretty sure we can always be friends,” said Brown, “and I don’t know about our relationship, but I just know definitely that we ended as friends.” He stated he did not feel that his career was over, and described his relationship with Rihanna as having been like Romeo and Juliet, blaming the media attention in the aftermath of the assault for driving them apart.[88][91] When asked if he had any memory of assaulting Rihanna, he said that he did not, but realized that it occurred, and was sorry for his actions.[88][89][90][91] However, following criticism of saying he did not remember, he later said in a statement, “Of course I remember what happened. Several times during the interview, my mother said that I came to her right afterwards and told her everything.” Brown said despite this, “[that night] was and still is a blur”.[89][90]

In June 2010, Brown’s application for a visa to enter the UK was refused on the grounds of him “being guilty of a serious criminal offence” due to his assault on Rihanna.[92][92][93] Brown had been planning to do a tour of British cities as part of a European tour but Sony stated that due to “issues surrounding his work visa” the tour was to be postponed.

In February 2011, at the request of Brown’s lawyer, Judge Patricia Schnegg modified with Rihanna’s agreement the restraining order to a “level one order,” allowing both singers to appear at awards shows together in the future.[94][95]

On March 22, 2011, after his first performance of “Yeah 3x” and a contentious interview with Robin Roberts on Good Morning America at the Times Square Studioswhere he was asked about the Rihanna situation and restraining order, Brown allegedly became violent in his dressing room during a commercial break before his second performance ending that day’s program, and threw an object at a window overlooking Times Square, causing damage to the window.[96] Brown then took off his shirt and after several angry confrontations with the segment producer, other show staff and building security, left the building shirtless.[97] Following the incident, Brown left a message on Twitter saying, “I’m so over people bring this past s**t up!! Yet we praise Charlie Sheen and other celebs for there bullshit [sic].” The comment was deleted moments later.[98]

On July 11, 2012, Brown’s community service was evaluated and he was ordered to meet a judge. The evaluation was ordered by Superior Court Judge Patricia Schnegg on July 10,

2012. He was scheduled to appear in court with regard to the evaluation on August 21,

2012.[99] While conducting his community service in Virginia, however, Brown was tested positive for cannabis and appeared in court on September 25, 2012, at which time his hearing date was changed to November, to determine whether or not he had violated the terms of his court order.[100] He reappeared in court on November 1, 2012, to ascertain whether or not he had violated his probation less than 24 hours after attending the same party as Rihanna, dressed as an Islamic terrorist. He attempted to address the court and was told by his lawyer, Mark Geragos, “I don’t dance; you don’t talk.”[101][102]

In September 2012, Brown received criticism for a new neck tattoo that appeared to be the face of a battered woman, prompting allegations that the tattoo was a depiction of Rihanna.[103][104][105] Brown’s publicist stated that the tattoo does not depict a battered woman and is instead a design derived from a Day of the Deadsugar skull.[106][107]

The tattoo he has on his neck is almost as large as his rap sheet.

I think the glasses are for effect; trying to give the guy an innocent look.

Ambulance chasers love macho dudes like Chris. They keep them living in the style they are accustom to; living large.

Brown has had more judicial breaks and luck than a cat jumping off of a 20 story building and walking away clean. Must be the affluenza.

I wonder if his “mouth piece” can find a judge that needs a new car or a swimming pool? It certainly has worked in the past.

It goes without saying that this pugilist needs some psychological as well as a good long stay in he slams.
