Rihanna will not press charges against Chris Brown. The singer said she has had a change of heart and will not press charges.  Raise your hand if you are saddened and disgusted by this turn of events.

More pictures after the frustration…

This was such a high profile case of domestic battering that may have been able to change people’s mind about it.  Except instead of turning this event in to an educational event, Rihanna is proving that the classic abuse cycle is alive and well.  From The Sun:

The 21-year-old is refusing to help with their investigation after rekindling her romance with the singer.

But detectives may still have a case against Brown, 19, and will hand their file to the Los Angeles County District Attorney later this week.

A police source said: “Rihanna says she doesn’t want to testify against him. She has had a change of heart and doesn’t want the case to proceed.

“However detectives are still building their case based on what she originally told them and accounts of witnesses.

Thank goodness the police are still proceeding.  But how much of a punishment can Chris get if Rihanna won’t testify?  A slap on the wrist?
