    Domestic battery by strangulation

    I was wondering how serious of an offense this would happen to be (not me btw lol or I wouldn't be here typing this) and if anyone has dealt with or seen this, how much time is associated with this. How good of a lawyer is needed, ect?


    Edit:
    And no, I definitely do not approve of the conduct, not at all. I'm just wondering what will most likely end up happening to the guy, as I have known him since kindergarten. While he is my friend, he should have known and acted better. I'm just curious as to what will happen and I am worried about his mother, she has enough stress w/o having to deal with this shit.

    If it involves battery, then it's pretty serious, not to mention the strangling part. Advise your friend or whoever to get a lawyer and to stop choking people.

    Domestic violence, even if it's a misdameanor will fuck you up pretty bad. My brother got screwed pretty hard a couple days after he turned 18. Got drunk with his girl, passed out, and dumb bitch stood over him slapping him to wake him up and he socked her in the jaw. Her mom pressed charges. Due to that and his plea, had a gun prohibition put on him. He finally got it resolved state side a few years ago so he could go into the army, but when him and his wife (different girl) went to get gun permits to buy hand guns, his got denied due to the domestic violence charge, even though it was wiped.

    As for time, I think he got 1-2 weeks in the can, with credit for timed served and something like 2 years probation. It did lead to him eventually getting scared straight, and doing a bunch of research to find out how to get the gun prohibition removed so he could enlist in the military. But honestly I think he got off a little lucky as it was right after he turned 18. If it happened a week earlier, it would have been sealed with his juvinille record. Most first time cases if it's misdamenor level is 1-6 months in jail, 1-2 years probation, and some time in anger management and AA/NA meetings if you have a history of drug/alcohol abuse.

    If she survived the strangulation, he could just say she likes being choked during sex. Then it's just her word against his about when, where, and how it happened.

    Unless she has like big ol' bruises on her neck where his fingers and thumb gripped her, then he's screwed.

    Auto-erotic asphyxiation is the term you're looking for, though if she does indeed have his hand prints around her throat, he'd be hard pressed to prove the "auto" part.

    Hmmm. Perhaps chocking a bitch isn't a good idea.

    I didn't mean to suggest she did it to herself, just that he can admit he choked her but it was just sex play. But if she has big purple bruises on her neck, it's hard to say it was simple playful choking.

    I suppose there's another term for having your partner choke you, but I've never heard it :/

    Would be an awesome defense in an assault charge though!

    "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, we intend to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the young lady pressing charges is a dirty whore with freaky-deaky fetishes, of which asphyxiation during intercourse is among her personal favorites."

    It'd be better than the glove defense!

    I've personally choked...5 girls while fucking them? It's not that uncommon a request.

    To actually answer you're question, I knew a guy who ended up trying to choke his ex-wife with a phone cord and he actually got off with I think two years under house arrest and a pretty significant fine. The real fucked up part is he got back together with her, but she left him again for a dude 30 years older than her and took half his shit again, which is why he tried to kill her in the first place. I think his official story was he blacked out and had no memory of actually strangling her.
