Judge Frost
How do you make up for last years holidays going totally wrong? Get a judge involved:
CONYERS, Ga. (AP) — A woman and her two young children will get a special Christmas dinner at one of Atlanta's most expensive restaurants this year — courtesy of a judge.
Chief Superior Court Judge Sidney Nation ordered Wendell Jerome Herman Rogers II to open his wallet and treat his family to a posh meal after he was charged with family violence on Christmas Day.
"Basically you were hung over and didn't want to be involved in some activities your wife planned," Nation told Rogers. "You acted up and ruined Christmas, so this year you're going to make it up to them."
Authorities say Rogers, 33, came home from a party on Christmas Eve and got into a confrontation with his wife in front of their two young children the next morning. He was charged with family violence battery and obstructing and hindering a person making an emergency telephone call.
In addition to the dinner, Nation also sentenced Rogers to serve 12 months, although the time is suspended while Rogers continues an anger management course. Rogers also has to pay a $1,000 fine.
He will have to submit a receipt for the family dinner.
Rogers' attorney, Maurice Bennett, said his client agreed he had misbehaved and readily accepted the dinner sentence, which attorneys said would set him back more than $300.
This ought to be a perfect solution. Maybe the judge can also order Wendell Rogers to rehab so he can kick the habit that started it all in the first place.
