Wait a minute! At least he rolled her up in carpet before he kicked and punched her. Softened the blows, he was being thoughtful.

Kelly Brennan said in the report that her husband pushed her, and she fell on top of a carpet in the garage. She claims he rolled her up in the carpet "as if I was dead or something," and kicked and punched the carpet with her inside, according to the report.
Kelly Brennan said she unrolled herself from the carpet and confronted her husband. That's when he allegedly pushed her against the wall and she hurt her elbow, according to deputies. Lee County deputies said they found blood on the wall consistent with her story.
The couple, who have been married for seven years, fought while their children were sleeping, authorities reported. Kelly Brennan refused medical treatment and later told authorities she did not want to press charges...Michael Brennan's attorney, Michelle Hill, said the allegations are false and that Michael Brennan and another unnamed witness contradicted the narrative contained in the police report.

I wonder if he was really hoping she was dead?

These assholes should be shackled to a wall and their victims given ten minutes with the shades drawn.
