A Florida doctor has reportedly gotten house arrest and probation after shooting his father and strangling his girlfriend in 2018. Rafael Azulay, 47, was already on probation after three arrests for domestic violence against his girlfriend, including felony charge of battery-strangulation, when he asked his parents to visit and then shot his father, court documents showed. His mother later attested that the entire incident was an accident and that she didn’t want her son prosecuted. After signing a plea deal for domestic battery by strangulation and homicide-manslaughter by culpable negligence, Azulay will now spend ten years on probation following two years of house arrest in a home with his mother. For the battery charges, the arrest documents claim Azulay’s girlfriend was afraid to testify against him, claiming he threatened he had a gun and told her he would “bring her to her mother in a body bag.” Now that he is to be released, she told the Miami Herald she’s “making plans to change my name and move out of the state.”

1. What happened to mandatory minimums?

This is outrageous.

[Deuxcents]

2. The judge should have him

Stay at his house instead of his mother’s. After all, what could possibly happen?

3. "I'm just another ordinary Florida guy!"

"Why won't you trust me?"

4. He looks like a complete psychopath!

I hope his ex-girlfriend runs far and lays low. It's unfortunate that she should even have to worry about him being on the loose.

6. If psychopaths had a look that's definitely it and he's a doctor.

Of what? Demento? He looks like he's jacked up on something. Scary!

11. That man has Dip in a basement somewhere.

New law - no probation for people who look like Judge Doom

19. Daily mail has his old photo.

He looked normal at some point of time.

5. He shot himself in the stomach when the cops showed up,

After killing his father.

Serious issues there. He made a mess out of the girlfriend's face in the photo.

9. Good thing...

...he didn't do something dangerous like being black and trying to vote while on probation.

10. Oh, the jokes I could make, if I had a really sick sense of humor.🙊

My sense of humor isn't quite that sick, so I will restrain myself. 🤐

I would not be terribly offended, however, if someone else wanted to make a bad joke or two, such as taking bets on how long it will be before he kills his mother. Because, seriously, does anyone NOT think that woman is in grave danger? 😬

This whole story sounds like like the setup for a horror movie.

12. What is the justification for leaving

him free in society?

How is his mother going to handle his penchant for violence?

Has the judge taken a mental competence test yet? He is apparently not any more stable than the guy he just turned loose.

[Demovictory9]

13. he will kill again

[ShazzieB]

14. Absolutely.

He will definitely kill again, or at least try. That's why I posted up thread that I believe his mother is in grave danger. She'll be a sitting duck when he gets violent again, which is bound to happen.

[LisaL]

15. From reading about the case, his mother didn't want him prosecuted.

He will be on a house arrest in his mother's house for the first two years.

[Demovictory9]

17. She is in danger

[LisaL]

18. She is still willing to have him on a house arrest in her house.

They wouldn't have been able to place him on a house arrest with her without her permission.

16. DeSantis is a pos for what FL has turned into
