Chris Brown Gets High Marks From Judge

November 19, 2010 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

Chris Brown seems to be taking care of business when it comes to his attempt in making up for his charges of assault on Rihanna. He was sentenced to 5 years probation and six months community labor last year. At the most recent progress hearing, Judge Patricia Schnegg spoke very highly of his commitment.

Per MTV:

“Of all probationers I’ve ever had, and I’ve had thousands of probationers, no one has ever done a better or more consistent job than you have,” Schnegg said. “And I really want to commend you for taking responsibility, and for actually working diligently to complete all of the things the court has required of you.”

The Los Angeles Superior Court Judge announced that Brown is close to completing his anger management courses and has 73 of his 180 days of community service completed. Brown has been doing graffiti removal and roadside clean up as part of his service in his home state of Virginia. He has to check into the LA County courts periodically for updates on his progress but so far so good.

Kudos to you, Chris. While I don’t approve of his actions in the past, it’s nice to see he’s taking the steps forward to turn his life around.

Lindsay Lohan WILL Bail Out Of Jail Within A Few Hours

September 24, 2010 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

They don’t call it “Celebrity Justice” for no good reason! Lindsay Lohan WILL be a free woman – yet again – within the matter of hours after her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley filed an appeal Friday afternoon, arguing Lohan was unlawfully denied bail. So much for her being prepared to take “responsibility for my actions” and being “prepared to face the consequences.”

Per TMZ:

Judge Fox ruled earlier today … Lindsay could be held without bail. But apparently the Judge’s ruling flies in the face of California law, which gives defendants the right to bail in misdemeanor cases. Judge Patricia Schnegg, Assistant Supervising Judge for the L.A. County Criminal Courts, just threw Judge Fox’s bail decision out the window. Judge Schnegg has set bail at $300,000.

Lohan will be required to be fitted for yet another SCRAM bracelet – her third, for those keeping count – to ensure that she stays clean and sober for the next month until her probation hearing on October 22nd. She is also not allowed to socialize with any known drug users, and must be willing to submit to a law-enforcement search at any time. In addition, Lohan will not be allowed to spend her nights at any clubs or establishments where alcoholic beverages are the main seller.

And there you have it. Celebrity preferential treatment at it’s best. Lindsay must be feeling like she can get away with anything now.

Chris Brown Sentenced, Rihanna Beating Details Emerge

August 26, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Yesterday in late breaking news, Chris Brown was formally sentenced. Judge Patricia Schnegg was not shy in revealing that she was well aware of their continued contact. She stated cooly, “I am not immune to the chatter on the airwaves.”

He was sentenced to five years of probation and 6 months of hard labor. Brown is to stay at least 100 yards away from Rihanna unless at an entertainment related event, say…the Grammy Awards, he will have to be at least 10 yards away from the “Umbrella” singer. He will also have to comply to the following: provide DNA samples as requested by authorities, must also keep in touch with the Probation Department and is subject to search and seizure 24/7 for the next 5 years, no dangerous weapons (including guns or knives), pay $2,500 in restitution and another $2,500 in probation expenses, pay a $30 criminal conviction fee and $400 that goes into a domestic violence fund.

Which is getting off easy after beating the proverbial human waste out of his girlfriend. Details of their post Grammy event fight were also released. Rihanna stated that they were arguing over something that occurred at their pre-award show party. So far it is pretty much what we’ve already heard. TMZ got a hold of the documents and the details.

“The victim said she became enraged and slammed both of her fists against the dashboard on the passenger side of the car they were in. She reported that the defendant then pulled the vehicle over and reached over her with his right hand. He opened the car door and tried to force the victim out.”

“According to the report, Brown was unable to shove Rihanna out of the car because she was wearing a seatbelt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the car.

The victim then faced the defendant and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then continued driving. As he drove, he continued to punch the victim in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused her mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter over her clothing and the inside of the car.”

After multitasking in beating her while driving he threatened to kill her after she made a phone call to her assistant.

[Brown] looked at [Rihanna] and said ‘I’m going to beat the sh*t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’” Rihanna told police she tried to call her personal assistant, but she didn’t pick up — but Rihanna says she “pretended to talk, saying, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the cops are there when I get there.’” She says she pulled the act “because she did not want to get beat anymore.”

The attempt stopping him failed horribly. His onslaught on her continued.

But after Rihanna’s fake phone conversation, she claims Brown “looked at [Rihanna] and said, “You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!”

The report continues detailing how Brown bit, punched and choked her.

Rihanna told cops that Brown unleashed a second wave of punches, “during which time [Rihanna] interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face.” He continued to punch her on her left arm, which caused a contusion on her left tricep.

At that point Rihanna tried texting her assistant. Brown threw the phone out of the car, stopped the vehicle and Rihanna then tried opening her door to get out, but Brown sped off and the door shut with Rihanna inside.

Brown placed Rihanna in a headlock while he drove, then bit her on her left ear. The car eventually stopped and Rihanna took the keys out of the ignition, and Brown began to punch her again in the face and arms. He placed her in a headlock and started applying pressure to her carotid artery. She couldn’t breathe and began to lose consciousness. She tried freeing herself, and Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her.

Rihanna took off her shoe and tried breaking the passenger window, and he continued to punch her.

Eventually she was able to get out of the car. He continued to beat her outside of the vehicle. After having his fill of hurting her, he searched for his keys but gave up. He took a few CD’s and left her and the car.

It was also said that women were outside of the court house pledging their love to Brown after he was sentenced. Apparently their stupidity matches their taste in men. Idiots.
