I think he should go to prison. It would help him to transform his image credibly from the silly dancer with a helium voice into a streetwise Dirty South cop-killing thug. Tear tattoo on the face, new muscles from the gym in the yard, the suppressed shame of prison rape, the whole bit. You got to think positive, people.
So, did she not have to testify? Wasn't she scheduled to testify today? I don't know that she lives in LA. That would be pretty shitty to make her come all the way down to the courthouse. I guess it's better than her having to testify, though.
Oh, come on, everybody. If he had been given a real sentence, everyone would be comparing him to "Lindsay 'Coke Pants' Lohan," or "Paris 'I Drive Better When I'm Snockered' Hilton," or "Nicole 'Mixing Drugs Makes Better Drugs' Richie," and that would seem really unfair.
Conviction for a felony is nothing to sneer at. You can't vote, for one thing. Considering he could have gotten off scot-free, I'm glad it's at least impacting the rest of his life.
I don't know - it seems kind of fair. Putting him in prison wasn't going to solve anything and it would just teach him more violence. Domestic abuse counseling is a much better option. And, for a rich 19-year-old, picking up trash, likely in front of photographers, ought to be a pretty humbling experience.
Hopefully Rihanna stays out of abusive relationships - she could use some counseling too.
She could also use some advice about not wearing lime Jell-O nail polish, but I think we should take care of the abusive boyfriends problem first.

Until fairly recently political leaders did their ass-kicking in person rather than by proxy, so it may be back to the future.

Once he finishes parole, he can vote.
