How do you know he did all of those things? Did he admit to them? If that's what the evidence points to, it has to be beyond a reasonable doubt. Also, your articles seem to disagree...

Quote:
A Louisville man arrested in the shooting of a 3-year-old boy was held in contempt of court during his arraignment on Thursday and sentenced to six months in jail for shouting obscenities at the judge.

Shawn M. Martin, 34, cursed loudly as he was being led away after pleading not guilty to charges of first-degree assault, first-degree criminal abuse, being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, first-degree wanton endangerment and tampering with physical evidence.
So he was charged with a battery of crimes (pun totally intended). He hasn't even been tried or sentenced for those charges:

Quote:
He will be back in court later this month.
So he was sentenced not to 5 years probation, but 6 months in jail, and that's not even for the shooting. That's only for swearing at the judge. He hasn't been charged for the shooting yet. Hopefully he goes to jail for a very very long time.
