Nervous-Looking Chris Brown Arrives For Sentencing

Singer Chris Brown has arrived in Los Angeles Superior court for formal sentencing in the battery case involving he and ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown arrived around 2:15 p.m. Wednesday to court, donning a black suit, pink shirt, striped tie and sunglasses, accompanied by attorney Mark Geragos and a hired bodyguard.
A nervous-looking Brown entered court flanked by six deputies. Geragos and Rihanna's attorney Donald Etra appeared relaxed and friendly, talking with each other while while waiting for the judge to appear. Geragos was seen reassuring the young star, attempting to make him smile--he continued to look pensive.
Brown and the court reached a plea deal in June that will likely find the singer serving a lengthy probation as opposed to any hard time. He's also expected to enroll in a 52 week domestic violence prevention course.
