“Mack began a relationship with mixed martial artist War Machine (born Jonathan Koppenhaver) in 2013. She says Koppenhaver became physically abusive toward her a few months later. The relationship ended sometime before August 2014, when Mack and her then-boyfriend Corey Thomas were assaulted by Koppenhaver in her Las Vegas home. Mack sustained eighteen broken bones, a broken nose, missing teeth, a fractured rib, a ruptured liver, and a thigh bruise that made her unable to walk for a week. Mack says Koppenhaver also attempted to rape her at knifepoint, but was unable to maintain an erection. Koppenhaver was later found guilty of sexual assault and kidnapping and sentenced to life in prison with a possibility of parole after thirty-six years.”

that is a draconian punishment for an obscene crime. i’m not saying it doesn’t fit, but damn. only times i see judges give sentences beyond 20 is when the defendant goes out of their way to piss off the judge.
just committing this crime is enough to piss me off, which is reason alpha i don’t have the temperament to be a judge, but the extreme sentence gives me the feeling perpetrator must have been intransigent, incorrigible, showed no recognizance or remorse, stuff like that throughout the entire trial. Had a lawyer who repeatedly (to the point it appeared intentional) ignored court rules and procedures. represented himself. sovcit bullshit. stuff like that.

I remember that. At the time, I was dating a girl who was a bit obsessed with Christy Mack, so she was pretty shook up. Of course, I responded “Some guy Called War Machine is a massive asshole? I am SHOCKED.” Apparently that was not the right answer.
