Today he was told he had 90 days in jail and to be back in January. The officer told us that I could recommend anger management classes, which we find out are $3000. Which is fine but why are they sentencing him to 90 days in jail and fines when this is his first offense, for anything, ever. Does anyone know the DV law for alabama?

As with everything in life, dear...it all starts somewhere. First offense is worse than any other because that is where it starts. Don't listen to the "I'll never do it again...I love you, blah blah blah" BS.
Someone needs to teach him how to treat a woman and that nice little saying "Do the crime, you'll do the time."
Personally, I think 90 days isn't enough. Abuse is never a one-time deal. Let him rot for his lousy 90 days and move on to someone who will treat you better because he's not worth it.

They are hoping that they will not have to see him back in court for the same offense a 2nd, 3rd, 4th or more times. Be lucky that you didnt get seriously injured or killed due to his "first offense". this is done to teach him a lesson. I live in alabama and they are finally cracking down on DV offenders to hopefully put an end to the vicious cycle of abuse caused from it. DV is no longer taken lightly. Go on DV websites and look at how many women lose their lives a year, a month, a day, every hour.

"why are they sentencing him to 90 days in jail and fines when this is his first offense?" - In hopes that he will learn his lesson and it will be his last. Personally I think the sentence is too light.
You need to worry more about you than him at this point. He has already shown he is willing to use violence against those he says he loves. Statistically these things get worse not better. Look for a better situation where you will be safe.
I have always said that anyone that lets someone get away with hitting them deserves the beating they got.

Because he hurt you. Let him spend the 90 days in jail thinking about consequence's for his actions. Leave him while he is in jail. Find someone who will always respect you. Blessings

Who called the police in the first place? Sounds like you don't want the help of the law.
Domestic calls are tiresome, especially when the victims react this way. It ensures more of the same.
Google "Donna Hester" and see what path you are on.

relies upon completely on the DA, yet from history, i'd say that the possibilities of having the charges dropped are slender to none. Many states proceed with prosecution even without the testimony of the sufferer, they have all of the information they opt for from the checklist, photos etc, from the time of the study.
