reelaroundthefountain: [TRIGGER WARNING FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE] thedailywhat: Sentenced To Date of the Day: A man charged with domestic violence was ordered by a Broward bond court judge to go on a date with his wife. According to the official police report, Plantation resident Joseph Bray pushed his wife and put his hands around her neck during an altercation that began when he didn’t wish her a happy birthday. In lieu of setting a bond or sentencing Bray to jail time, Judge John “Jay” Hurley told the 47-year-old to “go home, pick up his wife, get dressed, take her to Red Lobster.” He also suggested the couple go bowling after and then seek counseling. Explaining the bizarre sentence, Hurley said he did not feel the domestic violence charge was serious enough to warrant more serious release terms. He was also persuaded to be lenient by Bray’s wife, who said she was not injured nor in danger of becoming injured. [sentinel / myfoxhouston.] Anyone who lives in the state where this happened, don’t let this happen.  Please contact  your Stare Bar to file a Complaint against the judge. Perhaps also politely let him know this isn’t on at his facebook page (on separate tumblr post till confirmed) Strangling and threatening to punch someone is not ok, this sentance is beyond innapopriate. Not only does it punish him for using violence and threatening more against his wife, it tells that women she should go on a date with him, thats she should get over it and sends a message of ‘don’t come back till he beats the everloving fuck out of you’
