Texas Man granted Sentence By assess: Get Married, Or head to Jail
More than certain guys are proven to jokingly contact their own wives “the ol’ baseball and string,” or perhaps be mocked a little by their unique bachelor party guests for taking pleasure in their unique “last day’s liberty.”
In the case of a Tx guy however, it absolutely was the alternative: engaged and getting married ended up being a get-out-of-jail-free card.
That is where circumstances had gotten peculiar. The judge, Randall Lee Rogers, supplied Bundy a selection that seems straight out of a sitcom: the guy may go to prison for 15 days, which probably would have expense Bundy their task. Or, he might take 2 yrs of probation, with two notable conditions: As part of his probation, he would must replicate around Bible verses daily, and more importantly, get hitched within thirty day period.
Bundy decided to marry their 19-year-old gf, Elizabeth Jaynes, regardless of the probable unconstitutionality in the sentence.
The bride’s dad informed CNN he had been “really annoyed,” and is searching for their options to try to have the sentence overturned. Bundy’s now-wife, Jaynes, informed regional station KLTV that she didn’t be sorry for the choice to get married, but that “it felt like we weren’t going to be in a position to have the wedding ceremony we wished.”
They’d a hastily organized matrimony from the courthouse, which means that Bundy remained from jail, and posted the image below to Facebook.
Congratulations (?) into the newlyweds.
