Answer 1

I think it can be a serious charge. However if your uncle has not been in trouble before (no criminal record) they will more than likely reduce the charges. He probably does need anger management. Get him a lawyer and see if the lawyer will handle a divorce too; sounds as if he needs one.

Answer 2

I'm not a lawyer, but usually a guy can bargain with the persecutor and plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence.

But if your uncle fights the accusations in court and pleads innocent, then the persecutor will ask the judge to impose the maximum punishment. And it's possible that your uncle will get a heavier sentence as a result. Of course it's also possible that the judge will find him innocent.

Perhaps your uncle should've married an asian lady from some asian country where they still believe in traditional marriages and traditional family relationships.

I know some couples like that. Some of them have an age difference between husband and wife is similar to the one your uncle and his wife have. And they are doing well. No problems with fighting or impending divorce.

Answer 3

I hate to break it to you, but if there is proof of previous violent behavior against you uncle then the law is going to be more apt to believe her. He needs to get a good lawyer.

In regards to his child, at his age if he can't control his anger then he has no right to be around that child. Regardless of what she did or didn't do, he can't be threatening ANYONE.

Anger management only helps abusers be better at what they do. He needs to remove himself from the situation and still try and be a father to his child without her around.

He won't be charged with attempted murder unless he tried to kill her and failed. He will probably be charged with domestic assault or something along those lines.

Please help out the boy as much as you can. He will need a good role model in the coming times.

Answer 4

Well they usally dont take people to jail for saying there going to kill someone they have to have physical proof and if they do it can be serious but if they dont its hear say his word against hers and if they got him for just a threat its a mistermeaner. It sounds to me they need to get away from each other no matter whether they have a child or not he is angry cause he could be spending his time with a women of his dreams not wasting his life on a woman that is a waste

Answer 5

there is no magic pill that makes guys less violent. He might be on anti-depressants or something but if he's not in therapy he could easily be just as hot-headed as before.
Secondly the fact that she doesn't cook and clean... um, hello, welcome to the 21st century. MAID and CHEF work is not a WIFE REQUIREMENT. If she's working all the time and he has an unsteady job it sounds to me like he should be cooking for and cleaning up after the kid!
Anyway it sounds like you need to talk to a lawyer.

Answer 6

The wife needs to divorce her husband and move away. Spousal abuse is a big deal and if he is on medication for this then he has issues.

Answer 7

Why are you blaming her?
You don't KNOW what happened unless you were there. Were you? Were you a witness? Can your uncle count on you being there for him in court?

He ought to be in jail if he threatened to kill her. Sorry, toots - he's got troubles. Aggravated assault at the very least, I'd think.

Answer 8

so because she doesnt pertain to anybody of his househole needs she could be bodily and emotionaly abused? AND the youngster could develop up in this occasion? hmmm so which you're agreeing that it rather is fantastic for him to explode over ignorant issues because of fact she isnt doing her responsibilities as a spouse? i say permit the ole f*** rot in penitentiary its in contrast to he will serve plenty time in there he will grow to be somebody elses b**** and stay his existence in the pen the place he belongs, the cost could probally be endangering the existence of a teen and tried homicide....thats too undesirable hmm there is rather not choose for rehabilitation because of fact he wont get out in time to apply it, by potential of the time he's released he would be ineffective or waiting to circulate in a nursing abode. in the event that they gave him that hazard, perhaps you may study a component or 2 right here

Answer 9

sounds like your uncle is a loser and you need to step out of it, you have your own life to live. this has nothing to do with you what so ever. unless you like drama and get off to this sort of stuff. Your uncle will atleast have a public defender and he will be safe in jail. you need not worry about it.
