Our legal system takes human nature partially into account. A crime of passion is usually after someone finds their spouse en flagrante.
The court has some understanding when a married woman with two babies at home finds her husband has been lying to her and sleeping with another woman. (It should for a man in such a situation, too, but it would have to be some kind of house-husband married to a famous woman.)
Understood.
But in this particular case, adultery carries no criminal sentence.
Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a serious felony. Certainly mitigating factors should be considered on her behalf, but she is dangerous. There is no doubt about that. I would not want this woman around my children at all.
Furthermore, whatever advantage she had in a divorce situation as far as children go has been forfeited to Woods at this point. How can she care for them while serving time? How can a judge award custody of them to a violent felon? Bad, bad move on her part IMO.
