FRESNO
The estranged wife of a former Fresno administrative-law judge has been sentenced to life in prison for attacking another woman with an aluminum baseball bat.
Forty-six-year-old Robyn Sotelo of Sacramento was sentenced Wednesday for the 2006 attack on Marian Wells. Prosecutors say Sotelo broke into Wells' Fresno home and attacked her because she was infuriated over a relationship Wells was having with her husband, Louis Sotelo.
At the time, Louis Sotelo was an administrative-law judge for the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board in Fresno.
Robyn Sotelo will be eligible for probation in seven years. Wells survived the attack.
probably not a soccer mom.
Quite the disconnect there.
L
“Fresno administrative law judge’s wife sentenced in bat attack”
What a proper headline would read:
Fresno administrative law judge’s wife sentenced for attack with (a) bat.
Of course, thats just me and I may be a bit batty about the whole deal...
A life sentence yet she’s eligible for parole in 7 years?
—
agreed. That is kind of weird.
It gives her some incentive at least,, tho unless she addresses her anger management issue, she may be there for awhile.
That’s not an unusual time to be eligible for parole with a life sentence. Similar laws in lots of states. I ain’t saying it’s right, just saying that’s the way it is. Gotta be LWOP to avoid that.
life senteneces are can be considered at 25 years.
No baseball Mom!
I think it’s odd these jilted wives always blame the other woman.....instead of their husbands. Do they believe hubby won’t continue to have the problem of infidelity if they get rid of “her”? How nutz is that?
Dada dada, dada dada, dada dada, dada dada...Bat-mom!
Was she wearing diapers?
Oh. Sorry... wrong thread.
NOT Guilty!
That’s true,, laws do vary from state to state, if the victim had died, I could support the LWOP, she’ll be there for awhile as is..
Act 3, Scene 2 ends with these words:
ZARA. Thou shalt die.
OSM. I thank you.
ZARA. Thou ly'st; for now I know for whom thou'dst live.
OSM. Then you may know for whom I'd die.
ZARA. Hell! Hell! Yet I'll be calm- Dark and unknown Betrayer! But now the Dawn begins, and the slow Hand Of Fate is stretch'd to draw the Veil, and leave Thee bare, the naked Mark of Publick View.
OSM. You may be still deceiv'd; 'tis in my Pow'r.
ZARA. Ha! Who waits there? -
Enter PEREZ. - As you'll answer it, take heed This Slave commit no Violence upon Himself. I've been deceiv'd. The Publick Safety Requires he should be more confin'd; and none, No not the Princes self, permitted to Confer with him. I'll quit you to the King. Vile and ingrate! too late thou shalt repent The base Injustice thou hast done my Love: Yes, thou shalt know, spite of thy past Distress, And all those Ills which thou so long hast mourn'd; Heav'n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn'd, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn'd
Quite the disconnect there.
California dictionary!
They combine all three supposedly separate branches of government into one.
Why should she be excused for attacking a defenseless bat?
Seven years in jail for attenpted murder seems pretty light. When she gets out, I would put her on indefinite parole, to be confined to one county.
I believe that any husband who would do that is not worth fighting over. Quite frankly, the other woman may have done her a favour by revealing what a scum her husband was.
