>>He assaulted his stepson severely enough that he fractured his skull<<
As soon as he did this, within a week, he should have been tried, found guilty, and hanged. Had this been the case, no one at that church would have been harmed. Think about it.
I agree he should gotten life in prison.
But domestic violence cases are difficult to prosecute and no one wants to take sides in them.
Exactly. there’s no excuse for cracking a kid’s skull. He was let off easy , I guess, because he admitted it and saved the prosecutor some time.
