He also extended Raymond's order of protection (USA Today)

"She is a troubled girl," Delimentin said before alleging that Raymond was jealous of Brown and her family has caused trouble on their Prospect Heights block for years. "They knew this was a weak case," piped in Brown, unable to resist a dig at prosecutors. "My family has lived on that block for almost 50 years and has never been a problem."(NY Daily News)

The rapper was accused of attacking the woman throughout her body around July 2007.

Brown allegedly bruised the eye and chipped the tooth of her longtime neighbor Arlene Raymond when she struck the woman with the handheld communications device. Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge John Walsh sentenced Brown to time already served, issued an order of protection and ordered Brown to submit a letter of apology, the spokesman said. (The Insider)
