Update 77: Chris Brown Arrested

When Chris Brown and Rihanna finally faced off in open court there weren’t the fireworks we were all looking for. To avoid jail time Chris plead guilty to felony assault in a plea deal where he’ll be serving five years probation and 1,400 hours of "labor-oriented service." In addition he’ll have to go through a year-long domestic-violence counseling class and check in with his probation officer every three months.
Though Rih-Rih was there to testify she didn’t have to because of his plea…so neither of them have spoken out publicly about what ‘really’ happened.
When Chris left the courtroom Judge Patricia Schnegg talked to Rihanna about the issuance of a "stay away" order, requiring Brown to stay 100 yards from her.
And through her attorney, Donald Etra, she said that wouldn’t need t to be issued. However, the judge said she was putting the order in anyway and reving it to 50 yards, 10 if they happened to be at the same "industry event" together. Source
And so it goes…
I’m sure there will be more to this story but for now I’m retiring the updates. 77 Updates and almost 5 months later it’s finally over. Thank God.
