NY1 ex-political anchor Dominic Carter was found guilty of misdemeanor attempted assault Friday for beating up his wife.
Justice Arnold Etelson convicted Carter after ruling he did not believe his wife, Marilyn, when she blame her injuries on an unknown day laborer.
The claim was "nothing short of preposterous," Etelson ruled.
Carter, 45, was removed from his high-profile job after it emerged his 52-year-old wife accused him of kicking, punching and choking her during a fight in the couple's home in October 2008.
She later retracted her statements and blamed her bruises on a day laborer whose name she couldn't recall.
Carter is to be sentenced Jan. 14.
Calls to the couple were not immediately returned.
