3485...Mr. Peterson Not Dangerous Offender

Unless you are Mrs. Peterson.

CBC/PEI reports that "A man who assaulted his wife eight times over the course of 10 years is not a dangerous offender, a P.E.I. provincial court judge has ruled. Judge John Douglas ruled Monday the Crown did not prove there is a serious likelihood of Kirk Myles Peterson causing death or serious bodily harm. The Crown was asking for the dangerous offender designation, which would allow him to be kept in prison indefinitely. The request was made in connection with the 47-year-old's latest conviction for assaulting his wife, in which he punched her in the face and broke her ankle."

There you go.
