Our thanks to William for this. An extract:
Churchman set a starting point of 22 months in jail for the offending, before adding two months for her 18 previous convictions. That included 17 between 1988 and 2011.
He had also taken out a protection order against Susan five years before they were married.
The 18th conviction, which came after his death, was for drunk driving.
Churchman considered mitigating factors such as her guilty plea, admission to police and remorse and reduced her sentence to 17.34 months in jail which he then converted to 11 months home detention.
