I wouldnt know the statistics that prove it either way (if you do, please post a link), but I think just out of habit it would be more likely, because it'd be easier for someone who would ever do that to do it again once they have.
Probation is pretty much the standard punishment... In fact, a $10,000 fine is pretty hefty under the circumstances....
I'm not saying it's right, but that's how it is...
10k is alot for average people, but for someone earning millions a year, its a slap on the wrist.
Yes, this was his first time, but I'm of the opinion that violent crimes need a much more severe punishment than non-voilent crimes. No jail time for a violent crime just doesn't seem right.
