R&B singer Chris Brown is taking an "L" in his publicized Washington, DC assault case after deciding to plead guilty and accept a plea deal this week.
According to reports, Chris Breezy issued an open apology during his Monday (September 1) court appearance.
Brown pled guilty to misdemeanor assault and was sentenced to time served. He previously spent two days in a D.C. jail in this case.
During his court appearance on Monday, Brown issued an apology. “I would like to say to the court that I’m sorry,” he said.
Brown’s attorney, Danny Onorato, said that Brown had already been punished extensively for the assault including the 108 days he spent in an L.A. jail. (Rap-Up)
Check out Chris Brown’s court appearance coverage:
Back in June, Chris Breezy decided to put up a fight in the case.
Under it, Brown would plead guilty in exchange for time served – with no jail time and no probation. However, after hours of negotiations, Chris Brown reportedly turned it down because of how the script was worded. Brown’s defense attorney, Mark Geragos, briefly addressed media outside the courtroom at 3:45 p.m. Sources previously confirmed to ABC7 News that plea deal negotiations had been taking place between Brown and his lawyers and D.C. prosecutors – but Brown was obviously not happy with the deal offered.

Recent reports suggested Chris Breezy could be back in a suit and tie for his publicized Washington, DC crime case in late June.
As TMZ first reported … despite his admission of violating his Rihanna probation, Brown maintains he didn’t specifically admit guilt in the D.C. assault case. But TMZ has obtained documents filed today by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia … asking a judge to now make June 25 the start date for the trial … instead of just a status conference. The prosecutor disagrees with Brown’s assertion … and says his admission DOES count as an admission of guilt in this case, and therefore the trial should begin without any further delay. (TMZ)
The Los Angeles County Jail let Chris Breezy go just after midnight in early June.
Los Angeles Sheriff’s deputy Tony Moore told The Associated Press that Brown was released at 12:01 a.m. Monday, but he didn’t have any more details. Brown had been in custody since mid-March, when he was arrested after being expelled from a court-ordered rehab sentence for violating its rules. (AP)
