Former NY1 political anchor Dominic Carter was released from jail 11 days early on good behavior. New York Magazine reports that the newsman was let out this week after serving 19 days of his 30-day sentence for attempted assault against his wife. Following a judge's orders, Carter—who hopes to appeal the verdict—must now attend domestic violence classes, receive "psychiatric treatment," and stay away from his wife for two years, a stipulation his attorney called "draconian." Because he isn't allowed home, Carter is reportedly staying with relatives in the city. "This is all behind me now," he said. "I'm writing a new chapter in my life."
