29. Will someone please explain the last sentence in the OP to me?

"More than 70 percent of those who kill their spouse had “multiple prior arrests on those charges” and the majority spent just days in jail."

This sentence says that 70% of those who kill their spouse had been arrested for killing their spouse multiple times prior to the last time they killed their spouse and the majority of those 70% who killed their spouse only spent days in jail.

Writing and editing sure is not what it used to be.
