The victim was taking her dog for a walk and had just left her Sonoma Avenue apartment Colombano approached her and rubbed his erect penis on her buttocks, the District Attorney's Office said. When the woman tried to avoid him, Colombano began beating her with a closed fist and then used a landscaping rock to repeatedly smash her in the face, the DA's Office said.
However, Judge Dana Simonds disagreed with the recommendations and, citing Colombano's cannabis consumption, stress and mental health issues, sentenced him to probation, allowing for his release from custody, according to the press release.
Just seeking some advice - when Covid started, I lost an after school education business I owned and fell on some hard times. I'm a single parent and relocated to find work, only for the company I moved for to go out of business. I'm a single parent. I was depressed for a long time; probably still am. My kids also suffered, from having to move, their grades weren't great and the stuck in the house covid lifestyle took its toll on everyone. But in the past few months, it seems many of my prayers have been answered. Yesterday, I got my sons report card - A+ in math and science. He had some physical limitations early in life, but I also found out he's been doing great in phys Ed, beating several older students in the mile race. My daughter won a scholarship to a tough to get into horseback riding summer camp.
My work has been going better as well. But I find I still have this enormous sense of dread, almost as if it's scarier than when things were bad. Why is this and how can I better embrace positive change as a Christian?
