An Easton man has been sentenced to six months in jail for strangling his wife during an argument about their divorce, according to a court plea deal.
The case, which involved a domestic dispute, was resolved through a plea agreement without a trial. The man accepted the plea deal, avoiding a more severe sentence that could have resulted from a trial conviction.
The sentencing follows a pattern of domestic violence cases being handled through plea deals, which can reduce court backlogs but also limit public scrutiny of the circumstances.
