People v. Evans

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated domestic battery and domestic battery and was sentenced to 3 years. Court did not err in refusing to allow Defendant to use evidence of victim's alleged actions which occurred after the day of the charged incident.Court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing Defendant to prison based on court's determination that a community-based sentence would be insufficient to deter him from committing more acts of domestic violence, would deprecate seriousness of his actions, and would be inconsistent with the ends of justice.(KNECHT and CAVANAGH, concurring.)
