Kelly mitigating factor ?

The story about Sen. Paul Kelly charged with assaulting his

    wife was bound to make your front page. Who can sympathize with

    a wife beater ?  His wife claims : " he stated that he was going

    to take everything from me. "  This ,along with those suspicious

    cell telephone numbers, sounds like a routine marriage crisis.

          Mrs. Kelly said that it was the only time her husband had

    ever assaulted her .

           I do not want to see this man get fawning, favored

    treatment in a serious criminal matter.

          But before passing damning judgment on him, I would

    like to read the results of a complete physical and mental

    exam. For example sudden violent behavior can be a symptom

    of an incipient brain disorder. Or premature senility ( Kelly is

    only 58 ).

            The more we really know about human behavior the less

    room there is for moralizing gibberish .

              But my point of view may just be a symptom of liberal

    psychosis. Better just call an exorcist !
