In 2009, the singer Chris Brown, was sentenced to serve over 1,400 hours in a “labor oriented service, and was ordered to complete a 52-week domestic violence program. This was the result of the domestic violence charge he received after assaulting his girlfriend at the time, Rihanna. Since then, previous to his most recent trial on November 1st, he has tested positive for marijuana use while in Virginia. He somehow got away with it in court due to the fact that the marijuana was consumed in California, as allowed by his medical marijuana license.
