After much speculation, it has finally happened: Chris Brown has been formally charged for his attack on Rihanna. Brown has been charged with assault likely to cause great bodily injury and making criminal threats. He could get anywhere from probation to around 4 years in jail. (I say throw the book at him).

More details are emerging about the incident including the fact that the actual attack is much worse than we all thought. During a fight over a three page text Brown received from another woman, the singer tried to throw Rihanna out of the moving car, but she still had her seatbelt on. So Brown settled for bashing her head against the door and punching her repeatedly while still driving.

When Rihanna made a call to her assistant saying that she would be home soon and asked that the police be there. Brown really lost it, telling Rihanna that “You just did the stupidest thing ever. I’m going to kill you.” He then proceeded to bite her ears and fingers, getting her into a choke hold until she was almost unconscious.

Brown is expected to plead out, but today his request to delay the case until April 6^th was granted, although sources say there was no clear reason given.

Who knows? Maybe Brown wanted to get in some more sea doo time.
