Q for you though. How do we get from "seems to indicate something suspicious" to an actual, real-world penalty that harsh? A two-month suspension is $2-3M and probably a year lost out of his FA.
I didn't know that he fired a gun in his garage. Apparently that's established. Gracias amigo.
Next question would be: if the police didn't like what they found at the scene, if they thought that Chapman was intimidating her with gunshots (!) wouldn't they typically at least cite him for unlawful discharge of a firearm? Doesn't take a lot to push a DV-investigating policeman into that mode. You've supervised a police force no doubt, so much appreciate your take.

Seems like the prosecutor also could have nicked him on the unlawful gunshots easily enough. Perhaps Mojician can weigh in too.
Or not?
