Ex-Seahawk Chad Wheeler sentenced for beating then-girlfriend

Former Seattle Seahawks player Chad Wheeler was sentenced Friday in connection to the beating of his then-girlfriend in 2021.
Wheeler, a former offensive lineman, was found guilty in November of first-degree assault and second-degree assault. He was found not guilty on a third charge of unlawful imprisonment. Wheeler was sentenced to about 6.5 years (81 months) with three years of Community Custody to follow. Wheeler was also barred from contacting the victim in perpetuity.
The minimum sentence for first-degree assault in Washington is five years in jail.
On Jan. 22, 2021, Wheeler and his then-girlfriend Alleah Taylor got into a fight at a Kent apartment, that later turned physical.

81 months is too lenient. Should have been 10 years minimum. Judge is dummy

[@fullmetal1766]

He didn't beat her he literally tried to kill her

[@patricias5122]

I don't agree with the headline, "...beating his girlfriend.d" He tried to kill her. A beating is horrible enough, but that was excruciatingly brutal. Seven years is not long enough, judge!

These people never talk responsibility. Just excuses

[@Sijo2]

All of a sudden it was mental issues. Whatever!!! 🙄

[@jaiyabyrd4177]

The Judge should've given him 15-20 years in Prison.

Avoid relationships with ex football players. That's lesson number 1

[@stunner29]

Should be life in prison, what a scumbag!!

[@chriss813]

He needs to not make it out of jail!!

[@myisathletics3433]

… that’s all he gets?!! Horrible….

[@Will_954]

Stephen A Smith do a segment talking about Chad Wheeler’s thuggery yet. I wonder why 😎

[@MarkOfKeys]

Notice how his "mental health" didnt interfere with his ability to play football.....

[@CAMICAZE007]

I dated someone when I was 19 and he was 24, he was bipolar, but he was alcoholic and when he thought that he was bipolar. He apologize, but the scars basically the trauma was so intense that I would never be with a person, who I can't say that. But that was the most dramatic time of my life its is more common but not addressed. .

81 months how lucky is he...

[@goldenvulture6818]

A conviction sentence of 6 1/2 years in prison isn't slap on the wrist

I hope he'll like being told, "Pick up the soap "

[@lowkey3047]

The friend: " he was never violent." It's ridiculous. Did the friend date him. Nope, just running his mouth.
