The State is famous for its corruption dating back to the BUGSY SEGEL days, and its a clear indication of how this matter has been adjudicated. Legal authorities are as crooked as the next guy.

A con artist is a con artist. While Mrs Halverson may have been a very educated intelligent person, that does not mean she is clarvoyant and would know what a con artist and criminal Edward Halverson is.

It is hard to say why women stay in abusive situations. There may be many reasons why. Perhaps in Mrs. Halverson's case, some of her phyical disabilites made it impossible are harder for her to leave. It is hard to say.

What is real is that domestic violence is highly unreported in this country. Batterers often get short sentences. Women who fight back have always been treated more harshly by the courts. That is fact.

Elizabeth Halverson may not have been the easiest person to get along with. However, NO ONE deserves what Edward Halverson did to her. NO ONE.

Mr. Halverson beat Elizabeth Halverson savagely and brutally. Elizabeth Halverson was in critical condition and was close to death from her injuries.

Her recovery will most likely take longer than the time Edward Halverson will be in jail.

Those of you who find this amusing or feel bad for Ed Halverson need to really examine your feelings. You need to also put in perspective how you would feel if this were your child, sister, mother, daughter. Would you still be patting Ed Halverson on the back and appaulding his behavior?

Does Elizabeth Halverson deserve to be beat because she does not look like the rest of us? Does she deserve to be beat almost to death because she is on oxegen, because she is disabled? Because she is morbidly obese?

I think not.

Edward Halverson should be tried for attemtped murder as that truly was the crime he committed. Had this not been Elizabeth Halverson, I don't think this sort of plea bargain would exist.

I believe you but they talk about what an educated person Mrs was in an earlier article. An educated person wouldn't have married this person and if he was mistreating her for such a long time she was a judge that could of gotten help unlike joe public.
I do believe they liked to antagonize ea. other.

He married Elizabeth Halverson.

What more could the Court do to him?

Hasn't he suffered enough already?

Did I mention Dominic Rizzolo?

I have seen him do countless underhanded things to people he has worked with. The scariest part about Mr. Halverson is he is calculated and sneaky. One time at work he and one of the guys got into an altercation. Ed Halverson pretended like everything was cool. The next day he was seen putting sugar in the guy's gas tank and messing with items in the man's truck. This is the kind of person who smiles in front of your face and act like he is your friend but will stab you in the back when you turn away. He will then pretend he has done nothing and laugh and boast about it later.

I have seen him antagonize his wife then act as if he has done nothing. This is a cold, calculated career criminal who refused to work yet told everyone he quit his job to help his wife.

A very scary person with no concious and no integrity. He showed his true colors again when he got up in court and lied stating Judge Halverson threatned him with a knife. His response to Judge Barker, when the Judge said he did more than just "clock his wife" of "I am sorry you feel that way" showed how cold and unremoseful he is. But again, that is the Ed Halverson I know. The same one who would cut break wires on someone's car then go get a buger and fries and laugh about what he just did. Never giving any thought or care of what he had done and how another human being would now be in jepordy. That is the real Edward Halverson.
