Thanks. I appreciate your response. (and gatorfast's)
One thing not mentioned in the article was that the attending physician at the emergency room said it looked like my niece's husband had been in an 80 mph car accident.
My family definitely doesn't agree with the jury and the ridiculous verdict.
Also, the attack didn't take place immediately after my niece's husband allegedly laughed at the assailant.
It took place
many minutes afterward, so the "heat of passion" argument is invalid.
