"Anyone here see her going in jail? Nada. She gets counseling & all is forgotten."

I'm not a FL attorney, but I have practiced in the state as a JAG, so I'm a little familiar with FL law.

If the circumstances end up resembling what many suspect today, I think there's at least some likelihood of her doing at least a little time. He clearly was transported to the hospital, was in an out of consciousness and may have received some stitches. That, along with the possible assault with a deadly weapon (the golf club), means the prosecutor will be hard pressed not to ask (and get) at least some minimal jail time (3-30) days. Perhaps the sentence is suspended, perhaps not. It's really entirely up to the judge at that point.

If this were a "normal" DV case, someone would be going to jail for at least 3-6 months, given the circumstances. So yes, she'll probably get some preferential treatment.

As you were saying....

ORLANDO, FLORIDA (BNO NEWS) — Tiger Woods and his wife on Saturday canceled an interview with authorities who are investigating Friday’s car crash outside his home, the Florida Highway Patrol said.

“The Florida Highway Patrol has received information that Tiger Woods and his wife were not available to be interviewed by state troopers, as we had previously scheduled,” said Sgt. Kim Montes, a spokeswoman for the agency. “This announcement came from his agent. Troopers were asked to return tomorrow,” she added.

They will BOTH stick to the story they have put out.....he will not want her to spend one moment in jail...she’s the mother of his children, and if he was cheating, he’ll probably think he deserved what he got.....if he has a conscience.
