Is It Time to Send Brian Winchester to the Maximum Penalty Under the Law?

Brian Winchester pleaded no contest and he's sentencing went ahead 16 months later in December 2017. In court, Denise read an emotional victim impact statement. She begged that the judge refused him bail for the safety of herself and her daughter. Brian denied that he had any intention of harming Denise. He claimed the so-called spray bottle of bleach was actually a bottle of water he was using to mist up her car window so she couldn't see he was hiding inside. The hammer-like tool Denise spotted him carrying was an empty clip for the gun.
