Chapter 18 - My father’s glass

Robert’s conduct was worse legally than he expected.
I was carrying Rosie.
He intentionally threw a heavy glass toward me.
He claimed:
“I aimed at the wall.”
Video showed otherwise.
The glass passed close enough to my head that fragments landed on my shoulder.
Rosie was inches away behind my body.
Prosecutors charged:
Reckless endangerment.
Misdemeanor assault.
He eventually pleaded to a reckless-endangerment count.
Sentence:
Probation.
Anger-management treatment.
No contact with Rosie without my consent during supervision.
Community service.

He acted personally offended that seventy-two-year-old patriarchs could receive probation conditions.
The court remained unmoved.
