Sentencing guidelines a hot topic at the Statehouse

Activist and family violence victim herself, Claudine Dombrowski, joined members of the community as they discussed, along with representative Joe Patton, possible changes in sentencing guidelines in Kansas.

Displaying a picture of her 13-year-old daughter, who witnessed the abuse upon her mother for years, Claudine uses it as a reminder of why she continues to fight for tougher sentences for criminals.

She recalls being abused countless times.

"When he did have contact with me, it was with a crowbar, causing 42 stitches internally and externally," Dombrowski said. "Not only did he not go to jail for that, they gave him early release."
