Former NY1 senior political reporter Dominic Carter was found guilty of misdemeanor assault after several accusations of "punching, choking, and kicking" his wife Marilyn Carter in their Rockland County home. (His wife claims a day laborer assaulted her.) Carter, 45, could face three months in jail in addition to crippling his chances of returning to his position at NY1. Update: Carter's attempted assault conviction was overturned in 2011.
