Three years ago Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Chad Wheeler was cut from the team after his arrest for brutally assaulting his girlfriend Alleah Taylor for refusing to bow to him, blaming the attack on a manic episode [click here if you missed that].
Wheeler has been sentenced to 7 years in prison...
From ESPN
Former Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Chad Wheeler was sentenced Friday to 81 months in state prison following his November conviction for first- and second-degree assault/domestic violence.
The sentence, handed down in King County (Washington) Superior Court, stemmed from a 2021 incident with Wheeler and his then-girlfriend. Because the jury found that he "used force or means likely to result in death," Wheeler's conviction on first-degree assault/domestic violence -- a Class A felony -- carried a mandatory minimum sentence of 60 months.
According to court documents obtained by ESPN, prosecutors asked the court to impose a sentence of 108 months, which was in the middle of the standard sentencing range.
In addition to the 81-month sentence, Wheeler was given 36 months of probation and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation as well as pay a yet-to-be determined amount of restitution.

He needed help and I hope he gets it. Manic episodes can be devastating and dangerous. His situation is proof how serious bipolar illness can be.
I missed this story. Whoa!
He can take his meds from the prison nurse.
He doesn't deserve any meds. Let him suffer like she did.
Let him rot.
It's finally good to hear that a Yt man will get his due in prison for assaulting a Black Woman.
^^^And he has more coming to him when he's locked up in that Washington State prison. It will be interesting to see him when he's released from prison in 6 or 7 years.
I can't imagine being physically assaulted by a 6’ 7 318 lb man. This young lady is blessed to be alive.
