After about a year and a half, Chris Brown attended a hearing Thursday about his progress on his sentence. Patricia Schnegg, the judge, impressed with Brown’s work, told Brown. “You’re doing a great job.” and urged Brown to keep working hard on his probation sentence of five years. In February of 2009, Brown assulted then girlfriend Rihanna at a pre-Grammy party and shattered his clean-cut image. Now, working to fix the image he is abiding by the sentence given and has completed over 300 hours of community service. As he continues this five-year process, fans can start to forgive him for his wrongdoings as he is making up for them with no complaints.
