Chris Brown appeared in court for a hearing yesterday, May 9 hopeful that he’d finally get to leave jail and go home, but the ruling didn't go his way. 

The 25-year-old R&B singer has been sentenced to one year in jail for violating his probation in the 2009 Rihanna assault case, but according to TMZ, he will only spend 131 days behind bars for time he has already spent in rehab and in jail.

During the hearing, Brown reportedly admitted he violated his probation by getting into a fight in Washington D.C. in October 2013.

The judge could have gone a lot harder -- 4 years in prison, but he went easy on Chris because he was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which could account for some of the violence.

The judge reportedly also ordered Chris to attend therapy sessions with a shrink 2 times a week and he must submit to random drug testing 3 times a week. And finally, he will still have to finish his 1,000 hours of community service when he is released.

Chris is not out of the legal woods ... he still has to go on trial for that D.C. assault case.
