Chris Brown and Rihanna

There has been some publicity and controversy concerning the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident that resulted in Rihanna being treated for injuries at a hospital and Chris Brown charged with domestic violence. While we do not know the details of the incident, we do know that one party did sustain injuries and the other party faces criminal charges. In the time since the incident, neither party has disclosed much information concerning the incident, other than to state that Rihanna is recovering and Chris Brown can not disclose any details due to the legal implications and that he is seeking counseling from friends and family. There have been many opinions expressed concerning the matter from celebrities, the media, and even the general public as to the responsibility for the incident and what should occur. With the incident, Rihanna has maintained her contracts, while Chris Brown has been steadily losing contracts and some popularity. Yet, we do not know the extent of the incident and what caused the couple to become embittered to the point that a physical altercation occurred. Are we right to judge Chris Brown so harshly without due process? Is Rihanna the only victim or is Chris Brown a victim, as well?
