LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts) Chris Brown has been sentenced to an extra 131 days in jail after admitting violating the terms of his probation order. The troubled R&B star appeared in court in the Superior Court in Los Angeles yesterday, admitting a crime in Washington DC last year.
Chris Brown was in fact sentenced to spend a YEAR behind bars for a violation of the terms of his probation stemming from the 2009 assault of then girlfriend Rihanna. He's already spent a considerable amount of time in prison and rehab. That counts as time served and gets applied toward his sentence.
Lawyers trained in subtraction have thus determined that the young performer now only has 131 days left on his sentence. Still, that's a long time. Over four months!! Not only will Chris be locked up for Mothers' Day, but he'll be stuck behind bars on the 4h of July.
Sources do admit, however, that the overcrowded nature of the California prison system could mean that he's released even earlier, but only time will tell.
Chris Brown still hasn't even stood trial yet for his alleged involvement in that D.C. assault.
