Sean Donis’s wife, Nancy Donis, 38, said she was going to dinner. Donis stayed behind to watch their 5-year-old son. When he couldn’t find his iPad, he turned on the Find My iPhone app to locate it.
The software showed the electronic device moving toward an unknown location; he had a hunch that his wife had taken it, and he decided to follow. He arrived at a house and opened the unlocked door. On the second floor, he found his wife in bed with her boss, Albert Lopez, 58. With his iPhone, he recorded two brief videos of them in bed.
The New Jersey man got a letter last July informing him that a grand jury had indicted him on charges of felony burglary and unlawful surveillance for the April 2016 incident.
Donis’s wife worked for Lopez as the billing manager for his orthopedics practice.
Lopez said he was so desperate to get the enraged husband out of his home that he asked Donis “if he wanted to die.”
“Kill me. I don’t care,” he said the desperate husband responded.
Lopez also noted that Donis’s wife said they were separated, and he thought Donis was out of the picture.
The husband’s lawyer, Howard Greenberg, told jurors that the husband actually “deserves a medal,” not a prison sentence, for uncovering his wife’s unfaithfulness without physically harming his rival.
However, despite the fact that Lopez slept with Donis’s wife, prosecutor Nabeela Mcleod asserted that Lopez was a victim — a victim of Donis’s breaking and entering his home and recording him and Donis’s wife without their consent (Donis shared the videos with his wife’s relatives). He now faces a possible maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

Thanks for that information.
Just one more report from an upside down America...
I am not pawning off liberalism, you are, and the fact you aren’t able to see it is mind boggling.
You are making a complete moral relevancy argument, this wrong act is worse that this wrong act, ergo the person who engages in the lesser wrong act has no consequences for doing so.
That’s complete moral relevancy and liberalism 101 my friend. You need to look in the mirror, the fact you can’t see the argument you are making is the very backbone of modern liberalism is astounding.
This man would be convicted in the deepest part of the bible belt, to think he will walk is self delusion. Which, since you can’t see that you are making the most complete liberal argument for your stand, I have to assume you have a lot of.
A “crime of passion” is still a CRIME... and no it does not absolve the person who committed that crime from facing the consequences for their actions. A “crime of passion” legally does NOT absolve the person for facing the consequences of their illegal action. Generally its used to remove premeditation from consideration for the punishment for their actions.
In this particular case, even “crime of passion” is not likely to even be relevant because this is not a situation where a husband walks into his own home and unexpected walks into his wife being unfaithful, and just reacts to a situation he did not expect a second before. This is an act of a man who showed lots of premeditation and engaged in a series of acts, all of them bad decisions, and many of them illegal over an extended course of time.
So, your line of argument is frankly uninformed and not relevant legally.
As to alienation of affections, that my friend is a CIVIL law, which means hubby is free to sue the man she is being unfaithful with for damages, but it doesn’t put him in jail and it doesn’t give him any right to enter his home without permission.
True but you have to turn the feature on and accept an invitation to participate. That is for you or the owner to submit to, the government and phone companies are not so restricted.
Ignoring the statistics does make them wrong. You just don’t like the conclusions. Fact is, women of color have sex earlier, more often, and more promiscuously. Don’t blame the messenger.
You might also want to note that black women have 38% of US legal abortions despite comprising only 13% of the population.
Which action has the more negative consequences upon the society, the illegal entry where nothing was destroyed or taken, and no one was harmed, or the act of adultery with a married woman, which negatively impacts her children and spouse and leads to the break up of a family and eventually, society?
Lol!
Live with your post. Don’t run from it!
Best you look up the definition of burglary.
I’ve been trying to tell you, unsuccessfully, that such belief is about as traditional as it gets in the US that I’m familiar with. You must be from some more urban area. He would likely not even have been charged here, her boss would have been too embarrassed to press charges. There are mitigating circumstances that do come into play in criminal matters. First offense? Lesser penalty or maybe even let off without being convicted. Distraught because his wife was screwing around with he boss? Misdemeanor trespassing at worst, they’re lucky nobody got shot which would also be entirely understandable.
Damn good point..............
Definitely a foreign country, along with that NYC sewer.
Real Housewives of New Jersey....................they ought to make a TV show...................
Thanks; he probably would’ve gotten 16 years at most...
Implying behavior based on skin color is not something I would do. There is a word for that. I am indifferent to the conclusions, fwiw.
OK.
So this is justice in 2018 Euromerica?
There. My statement still lives, and I'm livin with it.
And from that, you found it obvious that I don't believe a man should be secure in his own home? My statement was purposely vague. I know there are nitwits out there who will attack just about anything.
Thanks for your comments.
I sure don’t “assume’ anything about you. I was merely pointing out that those who have not experienced this should be careful commenting.
As for the “insanity” plea, this is my point, he should not have to. Statutes should automatically grant what is evident on it’s face. He was “temporarily insane”.
My take was “she” was caught having sex with her “boss”. Maybe i’m wrong.
“Intentional Destruction of a family unit is a law that does not exist anywhere as far as I know. But, it should, the harm caused by careless adults causes deep human sorrow and damage for decades. I know.
In certain counties in Texas, out of 254, he would just get not guilty....................in my opinion.
agree
he would have only received a 10 year sentence for killing them.
Agreed.............
If that happened where I live people would have thought he was a hero for not beating the other man. The one most grateful that he held his temper in check would have been the other man.
