Couldn't happen to a nicer guy: Former major-leaguer Milton Bradley convicted of abusing wife By Dayn Perry | Baseball WriterJune 3, 2013 9:15 pm ET Former major-leaguer Milton Bradley is facing up to 7 1/2 years in prison after being convicted of abusing his estranged wife, the AP reports. Bradley was found guilty on nine misdemeanor charges. Authorities say Bradley pushed his wife against a wall and choked her after she asked him to stop smoking marijuana in front of their two children. Bradley will be sentenced in Los Angeles on July 2. In 2005, police received three domestic-violence calls from Bradley's suburban Los Angeles home in a span of 33 days, the Los Angeles Times reported. In one of those incidents, the paper said, Bradley claimed his wife struck and scratched him after accusing him of cheating on her. In another one, according to a police report, Bradley held his then-pregnant wife against a wall by placing his forearm across her throat. In 2011, Bradley was arrested on felony assault charges after allegedly trying to strike his wife with a baseball bat. During his playing career, Bradley spent parts of 12 seasons with the Expos, Indians, Dodgers, A's, Padres, Rangers, Cubs and Mariners. As a member of the Rangers in 2008, he made the AL All-Star team. |

I would say look for a low speed car chase but I doubt Bradley drives a Bronco especially a white one. Of the guys who partake of the weed here, any of you smoke in front of your kids? Think it's ok ? Batter your wife when she asks you not to? |

I still remember Levineline showing his unbiased journalism by shouting down any dissenters by saying that Hendry knew much more about the man than we did and that he was changed. I'm glad the Cubs are bad if only to let that douche slink back into the shadows of his conflicted reporting style. |

The attitude is that you should be able to smack your bitch up every once in awhile and shouldn't have to go to jail for it. Chances are, Milton's cellmates would take his side in the matter. It isn't the same as child rape or something like that. |

Milton has obvious mental health issues. Prison is likely to exacerbate them. |

If you listen to the guy you can tell that he is intelligent and thoughtful. However, there is something that is preventing that intelligence to override his anger. |

I don't have any knowledge of who or what he has been working with or on. And in my experience, people that are mentally ill are not more likely to get help because they have the cash to pay for it. We tend to just throw people away in prison, and then point fingers when they come out and re-offend. Bradley is unlikely to be better off if and when he finishes serving a prison sentence. As a society, I think we should learn to be sympathetic a little sooner, rather than when it's too late. |

Some of the truest words you've ever spoken. He's had help with mental health issues previously. Whether he is not taking medication or whatever his issues, he has shown he is a danger to others (especially his wife apparently). It's not a matter of a single incident, but multiple incidents. When someone proves he is a danger to others repeatedly and has not gotten whatever help needed to refrain from violent behavior over and over, something has to be done to protect others. Thats why he's going to jail. The idea is, he learns that there are consequnces to not curbing his violent behavior. If he can't control that behavior.....he's where he belongs (or in a mental institution). As far as being sympathetic sooner.....they were, thats why he was not in jail sooner. He's had 2nd and 3rd chances. He struck out. |

FWIW, in my experience, guys who hit women usually tend to be cowards who would not dare step to another guy. They hit women to feel empowered because they're really pussies at heart. I don't think Milton would dare cross anybody in jail. |

Tossing him in jail with violent offenders, (and if you can be honest here for a moment, that's where you prefer him to be) is hardly a solution that works for society, or Bradley. So when he comes back out and re-offends, you will step right up and prove my initial point. Be careful with the baseball analogies. You often post like someone that was hit in the head by a Nolan Ryan fastball. |

If the violence truely results from mental health issues, he would not be able to control it so well in jail or outside of jail. It's more a compulsion he is unable to control. If he is able to control it in jail, he should be able to control it outside jail. If thats the case, he deserves the jail time he will get. |

It may not alter his behavior, but for whatever time he's incarcerrated, he is not out on the streets engaging in violent behavior. Again, this was far from his 1st crime. He has proven unwilling to curb the violent behavior or get the help needed to do so. |
