Pretty cool considering I'm from michigan, hubby better watch out

As much as my cheating ex has upset me I would not send him to prison. Now a night in jail might teach him to keep it in his pocket.

If we lived in Michigan my husband would be in jail.

The county we live in (Michigan) had to build a new jail because of overcrowding, I am not exactly sure where on earth the "adulterer jail" would fit in? In reading the article I wonder if in the case of spousal abuse, could the judge extend a sentance if a person were to abuse their spouse AND commit adultery? (The article kind of left me confused?)

This is BEYOND ridiculous and the initial statute should be re-written - even the Judges said that.

Apparently, it's also illegal to live with your significant other! Guess we have more than one law that needs to be revisited

This case is about politics. As a Michigan resident and taxpayer, I'd prefer to see my money go elsewhere; some of the things that matter more to regular people. Like outrageous bank fees. Or we'll-take-your-first-born cell phone contracts.

And, Becba, you are a bigger woman than I... I would have had my ex thrown in prison in a New York minute!!
