Halverson’s Husband Gets 3-10 Years
There is justice for Judge Halverson. Her husband is going to jail for three to ten years for beating her with a frying pan.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Halverson didn’t go down without a fight:
Before he was sentenced, Edward Lee Halverson, 49, stunned a Las Vegas courtroom with a claim that he struck Elizabeth Halverson at their home Sept. 4 because his wife, who must use a scooter to get around, threatened to stab him.“If she wouldn’t have pulled a knife on me and threatened me, I wouldn’t have clocked her,” Halverson said. “I defended myself.”
Nice line. But I liked it better when Mr. Blond said it: “If they hadn’t done what I’d told them not to do, they’d still be alive.”
More Halverson tidbits after the jump.
The judge was not impressed with Mr. Halverson’s turn of phrase:
“You didn’t ‘clock’ your wife,” he said. “You beat your wife. To the point where I saw multiple lacerations on her. The description provided of the crime scene was more than a simple ‘clock.’”
Can we get a white paper on what constitutes “a simple clock?”
Judge Halverson understandably wanted the most severe punishment possible:
“It’s not right,” she said, sobbing. “The doctors are saying it’s going to take months and months for my head to be better. I’m going to spend more time than this man is going to spend. How is this justice? Three years doesn’t begin to make sense.”
It would be great if wife beaters received the same prison treatment as child molesters.

Can we get a post on the Cahill layoffs?
Non sequitor: Obama's nominee for Treasury Secretary is a tax cheat.
Impeach Obama Now!
Enough with this fat pig. He probably hit her because he was worried she would eat him or he was going to get sucked into her quivering blob.
Too Orca fat -- didn't read
hey MysTTTal -- i guess this means halverson is available now. you two would make quite the couple.
Obama just hired Halverson to eat GITMO instead of closing it down.
I'd like some wife beaters for breakfast, please.
I thought some whales had reinforced heads to withstand the pressure of the deep. Surprised she even felt it
Hilarious and original 3-8. If only it weren't for that pesky time stamp.
Don't let her near the lobster!

He should get additional jail time for failing to kill her. The aggravating factor - didn't hit her hard enough.
How could she feel the beating through all that blubber?
Beat your wife every morning. If you don't know why, she probably does.
Halverson pisses Mystal off b/c he knows she can out eat him and that really burns his biscuits.
How does someone like her continue to exist?
There is a small village of Eskimos on Kodiak island that worship Halverson as a God.
Halverson is a sitting judge
Good for the judge, for seeing through obvious rationalizations and providing some sort of justice.
Boo for the weirdos on this board who seem determined to turn a site about the law into some sort of playground for pervish morons.
22 > 25 > 20 > 18 > 14
All the other posts were fail. Try again harder next time.
I bet if you reintroduced Halverson into the wild, she would grow back her tusks, become covered in hair, and grow to 3x her size while living in the backwoods of Georgia.
...and she's been sitting for a long time
28-you left out 15
and missed out on 29
I don't understand the accompanying photo. What does Elie riding a rascal have to do with the subject of this post?
mmm ... tidbits
17: I can't take all of the credit.
3 and 4
28- are those arrows leading to the best post (14) or are those greater than symbols (22 being the best comment)?
She could permanently plug a hole in a dam.
The exchange between Holder and Cornyn was absolutely great. You should check it out when it hits YouTube or something.
wife beaters get a lower sentence than child molestors because the wife deserves what she gets.
36 -- Those are greater than symbols. Works like this: my bonus > your bonus. Hence 22 is best, and 14th least funny of the funny posts.
31 -- on purpose
32 -- I don't think I "missed out" on anything there.
~ 28
Please, keep trying though. 38 turned out to be pretty funny also, although more in the unintentional comedy kind-of-way.
Congrats, 28, on picking the least funny posts as your top two.
50 > 49.
<8 (40) -- :
40/28
I was just being vain and wanted to confirm that you thought I had the best comment. You have validated my existence as a commenter on ATL. Thanks.
22/36
I would rather be someone's prison bitch than have to sleep with that "woman" all the time. Euch.
28&40 < JUICY INSIDES
Does anyone have an update on Cahill layoffs?
28=contributes nothing
29
I thought that was Al Gore.

*random offensive unfunny fat joke*
*followed by predictable whiny post complaining that Halverson is no longer funny*
actually 47, 28 contributes for those unable to analyze comments for ourselves thus providing a valuable service. at least if there is ever a time on ATL when somebody doesn't have his own opinion.
"Hoggzilla, ain't got nothin on me!"
Tusky Halverson
My Opinion is bigger than your opinion.
Kash's Lobster
sizable.
44 - don't you mean any time?
26!
Imagine the nice chocolate cake between Halverson's cheeks from years of not being able to reach back far enough to wipe.
Spread those cheeks and reveal the caramelized insides!
40 is Halverson's bidet.

Dear #2 through #8:
Please allow me to summarize the referenced Deal Breaker post. After 6 comments removed by moderator (the mind boggles), there is this:
"As a member of the financial community, I have improved the efficiency of your system.
"Step 1: Post comment
"Step 2: After 5 seconds, Hit F5
Step 3: Jizz in your pants as the internet community revels in your comments glory, or kill self as the internet community condemns your lack of humor analysis.
"By waiting 5 seconds rather than your allotted 30, this allows for much faster hate spam between Mayo-slingers and Sham-Wowers"
My instructions for avoiding multiple comment posts (hit submit only once, do not click on refresh, open new window to return to reading ATL if necessary before your comment loads) are more concise but far less funny.
Dear number 27:
That horse left the barn a year and a half ago.
The comment, click submit, wait 5 seconds then hit F5 thing really works!
(Did not Jizz in pants, though.)
she only pressed charges because he hit her in the back of the head with the frying pan, and not in the face, which would have enabled her to lick bacon grease off said frying pan
another excellent Elie post. The haters have been proven wrong.
Is it true that Halverston put on her weight as a female CWT associate?
Put yourself in Evil Ed's position:
Demeaned and abused 24/7 by a fat cow who desperately wanted to feel superior to someone, anyone. So she marries a white trash ex-prison felon on parole.
Granted, the marriage perks were pretty much OK (nothing to do but lie around all day, do bong hits, drink beer and watch Jerry Springer on the tube, pleanty of white fat girl sex) at least until Halverson got her self suspended.
But it was just a matter of time before the whale made one too many put down comments and the evil one snapped. Had to happen.
Wow, Halverson just crashed down in the Hudson. Turns out, she floats, so it's okay.
Judge Halverson on TV saying there is no justice for victims...she looks terrible...its sad.

Ah yes, MysTTTal's convenient blind spot for prisoner's rights in his identity politics. Rape is a horrible crime, unless it happens to a man in prison. Wrongful conviction is terrible, but let's completely ignore that the overwhelming majority of exonerations for erroneous convictions are for sex crimes. Instead let's hope that "wife beaters" (another population of defendants with an astronomical rate of false accusations and wrongful convictions) get victimized alongside "predators."
Would you feel this way if most members of these populations shared your "diverse" ethnicity, Elie?
Sorry, must have missed this one...what's up with all the lobster comments?
