Intersting...I cant help but feel bitter/sweet about this one. I feel horrible for his son and all those kids that witnessed the mayhem. On the other hand, I am very pleased that this guy didn't walk with some BS supervised probation. He wont even do 6 years of this time though. Sounds like he was a POS wifebeater at one time anyway.
from the article:
"this incident was not the first time Junta had "struck another adult in front of his minor children."
"The judge's rebuke was in reference to an incident in 1991, when Junta's wife, Michelle, was granted a restraining order against him when she alleged he beat her continuously in front of their two children and another child. A court ordered Junta out of the couple's Charlestown neighborhood apartment, and gave his wife temporary custody of the children."
