Chris Brown
has been sentenced one year in jail for violating his probation in the Rihanna
case during an appearance in court today. But he will only be spend 131 days or
less in jail for time already spent in jail.
TMZ reports
Chris Brown
was in court Friday afternoon, where he admitted he violated his probation by
getting into a fight with a dude in Washington D.C.
That's all
the judge needed to hear. He sentenced Chris to 1 year in jail. However, Chris
got credit for 116 days he spent in rehab, and another 59 days behind bars.
That leaves 131 days in the pokey.
But we're
told the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept has been releasing inmates sentenced to 1
year after 240 days. And here's the
thing. Chris gets credit for 2 days for every 1 he served behind bars, so when
you add it up, he has credit for 234 days -- 6 days shy. So he could be released in days.
The judge
could have gone a lot harder -- 4 years in prison. But Chris got a break because the judge took
into account he was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which could
account for some of the violence.
The judge
also ordered Chris to attend therapy sessions with a shrink 2 times a
week. And he must submit to random drug
testing 3 times a week.
Chris is not
out of the legal woods ... his D.C. assault trial is set to start in the
following months
