Carter guilty of misdemeanor attempted assault
Disgraced NY1 anchor Dominic Carter will spend the holiday weekend behind bars after a lawyer botched a bid to free him while his domestic-violence conviction is appealed.
A day after he was sentenced to 30 days, Carter appeared in Rockland County Superior Court on Friday shackled and wearing an orange jumpsuit.
Defense lawyer Martin Gotkin asked the judge to release Carter on bail to his 22-year-old daughter until he can file an appeal.
But when the judge asked for paperwork, Gotkin said he didn't have time to prepare it, so Judge William Nelson sent him packing.
That means Carter is back in jail until his lawyers file the papers - and court is closed until Tuesday because of the observance of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
The TV newsman was found guilty of misdemeanor attempted assault in November, stemming from an October 2008 incident in which his wife initially claimed he kicked, punched and choked her.
He was sentenced Thursday by Ramapo Town Justice Arnold Etelson, who gave Marilyn Carter a green sticker that reads, "Attitude Makes the Difference" and told her to post it on her bathroom mirror.
He gave Dominic Carter a magazine article about how actor Matt Damon has stayed humble despite his world-wide fame.
Etelson also barred the couple from seeing each other for two years unless a psychiatrist deems the interaction would be safe.
