TMZ.com is quoting sources who say Chris Brown’s camp is hoping for a plea deal in his assault case, but only to a misdemeanor charge and with no time behind bars.

Brown is currently charged with two felonies stemming from the Feb. 8 altercation with his girlfriend Rihanna: one count of assault and one of making criminal threats.

We’re told Brown’s people have consulted with outside legal eagles — including law school professors — who have said Rihanna’s own aggressiveness takes it out of the felony category,” TMZ reported. “Sources say Rihanna was the first one to strike — slapping and striking Brown “numerous times” while he was driving, after seeing the text message from another woman.”

And Rihanna was fighting Brown as he punched and hurt her. We’re told much of this is reflected in the official police report based on what Rihanna told cops. As a result, they say, this is not a case that demands a felony plea.”
