The alleged attack happened on March 5, 2012.
He put a gun to her head and threatened to kill her and then himself. His attorney argued for leniency since the gun was not loaded. As if she knew that. His father actually said this made him a better person. While he could have been sentenced to 20 years, not only did he get just 1 year, he was made eligible for a program allowing him to be out of jail with an ankle monitor.
