Sounds like a right wanker. Of course for "good behaviour" he'll be out in what, 9 months?
I'd be disappointed if he were to get released after only 9, given his disturbing list of priors (violent ones at that).
A friend of mine was given 18 months for felony assault (or first-degree assault?)...not sure if there's an exact equivalent in the UK... But anyway this was a case of one man (my friend) confronting another outside his residence because the cock had stolen thousands in dollars from him. To say my friend won the fight would be a big understatement, but hey, he'd never been more angry with anyone before in his life.
It was his first violent offense as he's not a naturally violent person. He was also a university student at the time and began his time on Christmas Eve of all days. Still, he served out his time like a man and just as well was a model inmate, never got in trouble, etc. Still, he did a full 14 of the 18 months, and has never been in trouble since. Not that what he did was right, but it'd be a shame if people like Marlon King who can do something like that to women can be let out after something like 9 months given his history and violent tendencies.
He'll be the poster boy of violent offender recidivism.
