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..

Yes,there was something going on behind the scenes allright. Money, sexism, and more money.

Of course it is a less disgusting crime to brawl with a male policeman than to savagely brutalise a 120 lbs young woman. The strongest factor that should be considered in any assault case is (1) the degree of injury (2) the relative strength of the two parties (3) provocation.

In this case Rihanna was badly beaten (but not killed), by a man who is far heavier, stronger, and bigger than her, with no provocation at all.

By this simple measure that I think is obvious to anyone, Brown's crime was amongst the worst. We all know the real life story of how this works Its an old boys network, Brown's counsel has a word with the DA (you scratch my back, I scratch yours, lts cooperate on this and I'll do you a favour on the next case, he didnt kill the girl and she probably was asking for it, etc...)

Now, I dont know the exact words spoken but I suspect my account is very accurate and to be honest I find it sickening.

In ANY case, where the other key factors are equal (ie the same amount of injury and no provocation) the order of seriousness of the crimes is as follows

1 - a female minor/a baby
2 - an adult female
3 - a male minor
4 - a male adult

Assaulting a male is still a crime and still can be serious, but it is less serious as assaulting a woman, due to the simple fact that (1) on average women ae less trong (2) in all cases women do not have the violent instincts of the male
