Spouse Abusing SV CEO Gets 2 Weeks Jail as Longer Term Could Trigger Deportation

It is an account of terrible, long-standing and repeated circumstances. And she is asking the judge, who was on vacation when this deal was pushed through, to reconsider.

This turned out to be impressively naive of me.
