any man who beats his wife should get more than a year in prison. He deserves life in jail.

He must have had the SARS.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

well, all chivalry aside, you will notice that he was not convicted of assualting his wife. he has only been convicted of spitting on the cop.

he DESERVES to be released.

what do you think is a proper sentence for someone who beats their wife?

for a person who actually beats their wife? 12 rounds with mike tyson. all 12.

however, the family court/domestic violence system is appalling frequent in producing false convictions. it severly needs an overhaul. it is simply too easy to get a conviction or restraining order.

1. The headline is misleading. According to the first line of the article, he COULD get a life sentence, it hasn't been handed down yet.

2. Yes, that is dumb.

3. That does not mean all laws are dumb.

4. Pr0n rulz.
