J.S.
I did read the article. It's actually a little...disturbing, maybe? I don't really know what the word is I am looking for. Apparently this man and his wife got into an argument and the guy shoved her against the couch and grabbed her neck. The judge deemed this as a "very minor" situation and ordered that the man get flowers, take her to Red Lobster and then take her bowling.
I guess I am going to have to assume the wife was in on the judgement, and relented saying that it wasn't a big deal. However, if my husband pushed me down and grabbed my neck, he wouldn't be taking me to Red Lobster, he would either be waking up from a coma, looking for a divorce attorney, or both.
