Celebrity Justice
Chris Brown Could Do Nine Years in Prison

Chris BrownSo why, you ask, was Chris Brown booked for making criminal threats rather than domestic abuse, given the victim -- we're told Rihanna -- had "visible injuries"?

Law enforcement sources tell us they typically book a suspect for the most serious crime they can be charged with -- it's then up to the D.A. to file any additional charges.

Given there were allegedly visible injuries, the crime of making criminal threats is punishable by up to nine years in prison. Domestic abuse is four years.

290. I hope to god he goes to jail. I urge Rhianna to leave him now, before she is dead. It is obvious to me that this is not the first time she has been beaten by Chris Brown. Abusive men dont just wake up one day and leave such massive injuries, they begin by hitting you in places it does not show. Then they get worse and it becomes EVIDENT that it wasnt the first time. a woman like rhianna is beautiful and can have any man she chooses, what in gods name is she doing with that lil punk??? when she could have a real man. What does he have that someone else doesnt ? a bad temper....jealous streak....what??? hes just another guy, so hes famous? so are you Rhianna!!!! so now whats your excuse for staying with him? Are you afraid of him? You should be, because he will destroy your career, he will run your friends and family off, if he hasnt already. He will KILL you, so that nobody else can have you, so now that he is in trouble, what better chance than now to make your great escape. Get out while the getting is good! the cops got his number, he cant very well go after you now unless you want him too and allow it? The police have all the power in the world now....a case pending with 2 felony counts....Testify!!! Move on to a real man. I burned my daughters cd today of Chris Brown because he is a bad example. His music is forbidden in my house, but rhianna is a victim...who has done nothing wrong.He can beat you but he is not man enough to go to jail. Why? because he will get exactly what you got. BEAT like a dog!

291. Harvey Levin,
I commend you about speaking out against Chris Brown every night on TMZ. I watch it religiously. I just want to say that I will never support or buy anything associated/involving the COWARD Chris Brown ( he sucks ass anyway!!!) and if it is indeed true that Rihanna has got back with him then my boycott applies ro her as well. She is a very poor role model if she doesn't take a stand for herself and all the young girls out there who look up to her. It is sad that will all of her resources, financial and family & friends that she would CHOOSE to be a victim. TO ALL YOUNG GIRLS....A MALE SHOULD NEVER HIT A WOMAN!!! And if he does he should go to jail. I needed to say that because it seems like the entire entertainment industry has gone mute.

292. Ask a black woman that dates white men why she does it some time. I've had 3 black GFs and they all told me the same thing as to why they date white guys. If what my 3 black GFs told me (I believe them) and what that black woman you ask tells you is true then ask yourself why would Rihanna start punching away on Chris. Then tell yourself that this was the first time she ever hit him or any other man and the innocent girl got beat up for no reason of her own. Makes me want to puke when women cry out for a celebrity thug female who physical abuses men and then gets it back while they show no pain for the women fighting and dying in Iraq to keep us free. I've never hit a woman and never will althou I have been hit by them several times and have a scar on my left cheek from a coffee mug my ex-wife threw at me that i didn't see coming after ducking 20 times to avoid those things i saw coming. I had a woman blindslide me in a club because i danced with another woman. Instead of beating her up like Brown may have done I had witnesses and one called the cops and she got a night in jail. Some of you women need to realize before you start throwing punchs that, while most men are like me and wont hit you, some aren't.

293. HEY NEVERBEENBEATGIRL WHERES THE "A WOMAN SHOULD NEVER HIT A MAN"? A LOT OF WOMEN WOULD NEVER GET BEAT UP IF THEY DIDN'T THINK IT WAS OK TO HIT A MAN. ITS NOT. ASSAULT AND BATTERY LAWS PERTAIN TO BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

294. Let me see. Someone said Rihanna is a poor role model if she goes back to Brown? Ummmm, she admitted herself that she assaulted him first. So, if he didn't hit her back and just let her hit him and hit him she would then be a good role model? Sound pretty sexist to me. "Mommy, when I grow up I want to beat boys up just like Rihanna". What wonderful women your girls are going to grow up to be.

295. I agree with those who think people should quit calling blaming Brown for everything. He was driving and they could have been killed with that crazy woman slugging away. Brown shouldn't have hit her but I think that she is a violent woman and if it wasn't Brown it would have been someone else. If anyone truly wants Rihanna to do the right thing then Rihanna should get some help with her anger. Nothing gets a woman more pissed off than her man and another woman. Chris Brown is a celebrity so hes going to have women after him. I'm sure she has men chasing her too. I've dated models, professional cheerleaders etc and learned long ago that, if youre the jealous type you simply can't date that kind of person. I wasn't so I did ok but it appears that Rihanna isn't. Under no circumstances am I saying what Brown did was acceptable because it isn't.
What I am saying is that, if Rihanna has a problem with jealousy she shouldn't be dating a celebrity. Of all the "celebrity type" women Ive dated Ive noticed they are shared the same oddity. At that "first dinner" they told me that they couldn't stand jealous men yet, after we got involved, they said I didn't care about them because I didn't get jealous when they told me some guy hit on them at the carwash. Sounds odd but it seems like, the hotter a woman is the more insecure she is. If shes a 9.6 shes worried youre gonna meet a 9.8 and dump her. Kind of sad. Rihanna is perhaps suffering from that. Thinks someone is with her because shes a star and not because of who she is inside. Sure its sad that she got beat up but, to me, the real issue may be why she got so worked up over a stinking text message. Seems like everyone wants to blame Brown for everything but, even if he's out of her life that isn't gonna stop her from flipping out when some woman flirts with her guy--no matter who he is. I won't be surprised if an ex bf or two testifies at Browns trial that Rihanna assaulted them in a fit of jealousy.

296. u cant do this its rihanas fault her stupid swong first. i knew she wasnt right for him .then her dum ass gon marry him shes stupid but im still in love wit him.

297. I don't think Chris Brown will end up getting nine years at all especially because on e news today they said he COULD get up to 5 years in prision & that was after his court view today
& the whole i'm not guilty schene isn't exactly going to help his case in the long run
He should just own up the bruises on poor Rihanna's face speak for themselves
