If he choked her, wrapped his hands around her throat and strangled her, until she was not conscious (as reported) - thats much more than common assault.
I dont understand that people consider I have some kind of "special aversion" to men who beat up women, I am a human being and it is perfectly natural to find such people revolting.
And I dont think actually that this is an attempted murder case, but I was talking about attempted murder charges, for which 10 years wouldnt be out of the question.
I believe Brown deserves 5 years certainly - IF he is guilty. Because if he did this once I think we can be fairly sure he did it more than once.
In a previous post someone alluded to something which involved me. Yes - I started a fight with two people who insulted me, and if I'd have been charged for it it would have been common assault and I'd probably have 80 hours community service, £200 compensation to pay and I'd have lost my job for it. I hold my hands up, if that'd happened I wouldnt have the right to complain about it. But a man getting into a fight with another couple of men is a million miles away from a disgusting case such as a violent thug beating up and choking a woman. No one who is sane could claim that these things are even related to each other in terms of seriousness or morality.
