According to USmagazine.com, Chris Brown will be arraigned today at 3:30 pm on charges from the alleged assault on Rihanna. He is reportedly being charged with two felonies and if convicted he could face four years and eight months in a state prison.
The first felony count charges that Chris "willfully and unlawfully commit an assault on Robin F [Rihanna] by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury." And the second felony charges that he "unlawfully threatened to commit a crime with which would result in death and great bodily injury to Robin F. with the specific intent that the statement be taken as a threat. It is further alleged that the threatened crime on its face value and under its circumstances in which it was made was so unequivocally and unconditional and specific to convey to Robin F a gravity of purpose and an immediate prospect of execution. It is further alleged that the said Robin F was reasonably in sustained fear of his/she safety and the safety of his/her immediate family."
I know it's innocent until proven guilty but in my opinion, I really hope if he is found guilty that he is charged with the maximum penalty - and that should go in all cases like this - celebrity or not. These are really serious charges and the influence these two have over young people is strong - if he gets away with it, how many people are going to think it's okay to assault their partners? I shudder at the thought.
