Though I am a fan of all kinds of violence and mayhem, this response really does seem a bit excessive.
Now, if it had been America’s Next Top Model that he wanted to watch–well, that would be a different story entirely.
(Thanks to him for the link.)
Kinda makes you wonder what WOULD justify 70 whacks with a claw hammer in the eyes of this judge.
“Her desire for him to fetch her a glass of cold water after sex totally justifies the extremely violent, brutal response of the defendant.”

um, your boyfriend is a psychiatrist, right?
Take advantage of that 🙂
Just found your blog, linked off another blog – the title caught my eye because damn, I love NYC 🙂
Anyway, you’re awesome to read, quite enjoy it.
As far as the 70 blows with a claw hammer goes.
What.
The.
Fuck.
I’m so for the idea of a penal colony where they just toss everyone onto an island and let em have at it, no guards, no buildings, no tools, nothing. Fend for your fucking selves you psycho bastards!
Death by CLAW HAMMER? Can you imagine… *shudder*
Damn, we’ve only been using our claw hammer to open beer bottles ~ those str8 folk sure do come up with some wacky ideas. Did the article mention what he used for foreplay?
You know, I don’t even know what a claw hammer is, but that is just scary!
A claw hammer is the technical term for an ordinary household hammer; the “claw” is the curved part on the back that one uses to remove nails.
I think district attorneys like to use the term “claw hammer” because it sounds worse than “hammer.”
