HE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN PRISON TIME! HE GOT OFF SCOTT FREE. IF IT WAS AN ORDINARY PERSON THEY WOULD IN JAIL RIGHT NOW! WHOEVER THINKS THAT HE RECEIVED A HARSH SENTENCE SHOULD DATE A PERSON WHO TREATS THEM LIKE CHRIS TREATED RHIANA AND THEN THIR OPINION MAY CHANGE. THESE FANS ARE ALL KIDS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT BEING A MAN IS ALL ABOUT. IN MY BOOK HE IS A LOW LIFE WHO DOES NOT DESERVE A PENNY FROM HIS FUTURE RECORD SALES. HE SHOULD RE EVALUATE HIMSELF AS A PESON AND A MAN!
