Has anything good ever resulted from Bible study?

The judge sentenced him to 33 1/3 years. In Minnesota, defendants typically serve two-thirds of their sentence in prison and the rest on supervised release.

Castillo had eight prior felony convictions, including second-degree assault for beating another woman with a hammer in 2014. At the time of the knife attack, Castillo was on intensive supervised release and had a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to show up at a court hearing on charges that he assaulted two correctional officers at the Stillwater state prison in 2020.

Fingers crossed this worthless piece of shit dies in prison, but it doesn't seem likely if he'll only serve about 22 years. I'm usually pretty heavy on rehabilitation, but this one seems too far-gone. Hopefully they can at least get him a ton of psychiatric help and counseling before he's released on the slim chance he can change.

No hate quite like Christian love.

Castle had a message afterward about domestic violence: “Women need to understand: Don’t accept this kind of behavior. It’s not OK.”

Oh yes, women need to understand this isn't okay. ~~Fucking Jesus fucking wept, was this dickwipe trying to win Tone-Deaf Asshole Of The Century award?~~

Edit: okay, I had a visceral reaction to the statement and wasn't being fair to him in how I read it. I think he chose very poor words, but he's obviously not going to be eloquent at a time like that.

But morals have to come from somewhere…right? Aren’t we told repeatedly and vehemently while figuratively bashing our collective brains in with it, that it’s the Bible?

apologizes in court Friday for killing his wife

As if an apology means a damn thing for this.

They must have been studying the Old Testament.

Not a very constructive way to resolve theological disputes.

I'm generally against the carceral system, but this guy is a threat to others and needs to rot.

So he already had a hunting knife on his person and was just waiting for an answer? That sounds more premeditated than simply second degree

Thoughts and prayers... And knife!

I wish people in this thread would pay less attention to the bible study and more attention to the violent crime repeat offender recently out of prison who clearly never got the psychiatric help he needed (cause that dude be cray cray).

So yeah, a well intentioned woman thought she could fix him (with the help of the Lord) and decided to tie the knot with an unstable convinced felon. That's... misguided, but a mistake that has been made a great many times before by a great many people. But truthfully, religion is barely a part of this story. Mostly this is a story about how many Americans aren't encouraged to get the mental help they need, about one of the many ways in which our correctional system doesn't work, and about how you really shouldn't try to "fix" that bad boy that I'm sure has a heart of gold deep down. That last part is just so dangerous... please don't do it.

“A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.” Proverbs 27:15-16

Another one to add to the long list for responding to "if they let God into the schools, there wouldn't be any school shootings" bullshit.

What did he whisper in her ear?

Incoherent

They must have been studying Exodus 22:18.

Edit: For those downvoting, that's one of the like dozen reasons you can kill your wife or a woman generally in the Bible. (If she be a witch, ya see.) Maybe he whispered, "hey, shake your head if you're a witch," and then she did, so he followed the word of God.
