The fact that it was his partner and a woman means that the crime wasnt taken seriously at all - its just a "domestic" in the eyes of the male chauvenist justice system.

wait.. so you're saying that beating up federal official or cop is equal to beating up your girlfriend? What if it was a female cop he had beaten up?
He was looking at a max sentence of 4 years. *4*.. got it? *4* years. This being his first offense, the D.A. was willing to barter. Now let's think about this for a moment. Why would the D.A. want to barter on this case? Could it be because Rhianna wasn't going to really say what he wanted her to say? Could it be that Rhianna wanted a lighter sentence for Brown? *newsflash* the victim can give their input to the D.A. on what they would like..if she said she didn't want him to go to prison, then the D.A. can broker that deal.
With all the PR going around this case, it would have been simple for the D.A. to burn Brown's ass. He could have easily said there would be no negotiations and he would have to face Judge and Jury. However, a plea was struck, which tells me there's more going on behind the scenes of this than we know.
Nobody is defending Brown's actions, but I dare say that if anyone in this thread ever found themselves in front of a jury, they'd be begging for the D.A. to hand a deal like this down..
