A lawyer who worked in both Bush administrations has been charged with trying to kill his wife by beating her with a flashlight and choking her two days after she delivered divorce papers. John Michael Farren, 57, pleaded not guilty yesterday in Stamford Superior Court to charges of strangulation, attempted murder, and first-degree assault. Police said Farren’s wife, Mary, was beaten so severely Jan. 6 at their New Canaan home that she was knocked unconscious and lost vision. Farren was deputy White House counsel during President George W. Bush’s second term. He was undersecretary for international trade in the Commerce Department under Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush (AP)."
Let God sort 'em out.
