Chris Brown According to TMZ, R&B singer Chris Brown would cop a plea, but only to a misdemeanor and with no jail time. The celebrity news website reports that Brown's people have learned that Rihanna's own aggressiveness takes it out of the felony category.
Rihanna was reportedly the first one who slapped and striked Chris Brown "numerous times" after the singer read a text message from another woman on Brown's cellphone. He then fought her back and punched Rihanna.
In previous cases in which the woman engaged the man in a fight, the jury convicted the man because of his superior strength.
Another problem for Brown is that Rihanna told the cops he had beaten her before and the violence had been escalating.
