A violent unprovoked assault on an innocent person resulting in severe injury. One month in jail. Disgusting.
One month in jail, 100 hrs community service, $10k fine, and convicted felon. I agree with the others, I suspect that's pretty much in line with other folks that have enough cash to hire a lawyer and are making their first run through the system. Even with the growth of what charges are felonies, being a felon is no small thing.
It also seems like Senator Paul isn't too upset with his punishment. At least he isn't decrying that the Dr. got away with it. If the victim isn't too worried, I'll save my outrage.
