Judge orders marriage for domestic violence defendant
Cincinnati AP report: Judge Albert Mestemaker ordered Scott Hancock to marry Yvonne Sevier within nine months or face jail after a June 24 sidewalk assault. Hancock, 25, received a suspended four month sentence, $100 fine, nine months probation, and counseling. The marriage clause is not legally enforceable, the judge acknowledged, and he added it “almost tongue in cheek.” The couple have a five year old daughter and had been together five years.
