Moments of Emotion... As Chris Brown Gets Officially Off Probation

Chris Brown was just 19 years old when he attacked Rihanna in a rented sports car after leaving a pre-Grammy Awards party. Brown fled the scene but turned himself in to police hours later and was subsequently charged with felony assault. 



TMZ later released the photo of Rihanna's battered face, showing extensive injuries that a detective described in detail in a search warrant affidavit seeking phone records from both singers. Chris had repeatedly punched Rihanna, bit her ear and choked her to the point that she almost lost consciousness, according to the affidavit sworn.

He pleaded guilty to felony assault in June 2009 and was ordered to stay away from Rihanna, although the order was later lifted and the pair rekindled their romance. though have since broken up again.

Judge Brandlin's decision marks the first time since mid-2009 that Brown will not be under the supervision of court or probation officials like he use to. So, it's a huge celebration for him. We have below more photos of Chris in court yesterday for the judgement.
