Sout Train's Don Cornelius accused of Domestic Violence (3684 hits)
Former "Soul Train" host gets probation
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Don Cornelius has been sentenced to three years' probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor spousal battery.
Court records show Cornelius' attorney entered the plea on the "Soul Train" creator's behalf on Wednesday.
Cornelius was charged in November with spousal battery, assault with a deadly weapon and dissuading a witness from making a police report, all misdemeanors.
The 72-year-old was arrested a month earlier after police were called to his Hollywood Hills home following a report of domestic dispute.
Records indicate the other charges were dismissed as part of Cornelius' plea agreement. He was ordered not to use threats or force against anyone, including his wife Victoria, and must attend a yearlong domestic violence course.
I hope the brother actually gets some real help, becasue he needs it. At his age, he should be setting an example of how to treat a lady.

This does not surprise me because the enemy of black men ,whitemen, have always destroyed blackmen ,every since black people have been among white people ,there have been trouble,as long as the psychology of ,white supremacy is allowed to live,and whites believe they are born to rule,we are going to have problems, this why we must have our own, and separate from them....
