Which Can Be Worse: Getting Married Or Planning Jail?

Texas Man Given Sentence By Judge: Get hitched, Or check-out Jail

More than some males happen known to jokingly call their particular wives “the ol’ golf ball and cycle,” or perhaps mocked a little by their bachelor party guests for taking pleasure in their own “last day’s freedom.”

In the example of a Tx guy though, it was the opposite: engaged and getting married ended up being a get-out-of-jail-free card.

That’s where things got odd. The judge, Randall Lee Rogers, offered Bundy a selection that seems straight-out of a sitcom: He might go to jail for 15 days, which would have cost Bundy his task. Or, he might take two years of probation, with two significant conditions: within his probation, he’d have to replicate Bible passages every single day, and even more importantly, get hitched within thirty day period.

Bundy chose to marry his 19-year-old gf, Elizabeth Jaynes, despite the likely unconstitutionality associated with the sentence. 

The bride’s dad told CNN he had been “really disappointed,” and is also getting his choices to try to get the sentence overturned. Bundy’s now-wife, Jaynes, informed regional section KLTV that she didn’t regret the specific choice in order to get married, but that “it felt like we weren’t probably going to be able to possess wedding we wished.”

They had a quickly arranged marriage at the courthouse, consequently Bundy remained away from prison, and posted the picture below to myspace.

Congratulations (?) to the newlyweds.
