After punching his wife 24 times as she lay helpless on the floor?

a Dr Stuart Brown walked free from court when Judge John Warne of Norwich fined him just �500 because he had no previous convictions. His wife's offence? She slept in the spare room after an argument. Isn't this just the sort of example of judicial stupidity that has our streets overrun by thugs and our prisons populated by pensioners who cannot afford council tax?
