Just shy of a month after the shocking story of Chris Brown’s allegedly brutal assault on girlfriend Rihanna was first reported, charges have officially been announced in the case.
At Brown’s arraignment in California on Thursday, the singer will be charged with two felonies, including assault and making criminal threats.
If convicted, Brown’s sentence could range from mere probation to over four and half years in a state prison.
Of course, anyone who has seen the photos of Rihanna’s injuries that were leaked online might wonder if four years in prison is enough.
Neither Brown nor Rihanna have commented publicly on the charges which were first reported earlier today.
News about the couple heated up once again this week, as photos of the duo leaving a private jet together surfaced. They had reportedly been spending time reconciling at a Florida home owned by Sean Combs.
In a video clip posted online earlier this week, R&B star Usher spoke out against Brown’s seemingly unremorseful behavior, commenting on Brown’s lack of a proper apology and recent photos of the troubled star jet-skiing in Florida.
However, Usher quickly backed off of his criticism.
Brown is currently free on $50,000 bail.
Is a four-year sentence too harsh? Not harsh enough?
Tell us what you think!

YES!!! A four year sentence is way too much. Why cant they just do him like they did T.I. and give him community service? Chris Brown is a sweet, sensitive, loving young man and he deserves better. It shouldnt really matter anyways because rihanna took him back. Everyone Deserves a second chance. We all know that it was wrong but he probably did it off of pressure and memories of his step dad and mother. So my answer to that question is yes it is way too harsh. No one needs that much time. Just think if if were you in this situation you would want them to give you a secong chance why not him?
