He better do some jail time. My guess is 18 months, with 12 suspended or something like that.

They should set more of an example, as attacking a member of Congress is a significant issue. Also Boucher never owned up to what he did. I would think 3 years at least, so the next person thinks twice about this.
Rene Boucher, 59, was also ordered Friday to one year of supervised release, a $10,000 fine and 100 hours of community service. He was also ordered to have no contact with the Paul family
Check out this fertilizer of an excuse:

Boucher claimed he tackled Paul over agitation about piles of brush on Paul’s property. Boucher also claims Paul used his lawnmower – on the same day as the attack – and blew some leaves onto his property, sparking his outrage.

I hope the community service is cleaning out latrines with a toothbrush.

30 days and a Felony conviction. The 30 days is not enough but the Felony will haunt him the rest of his life.
And then there will be the civil suit

Well.....prison will certainly be different than his 7500 square foot house in Rivergreen. How will he live without the lake view?

He'll lose his medical license now too. A felony conviction is professional misconduct.

Felony, schmelony. He committed an unprovoked attack on another person during which he broke six of his victim's ribs. He's 59, rich and retired. 30 days, 100 hours of community service, and a $10,000 fine is a slap on the wrist and hardly affects his life. I hope Senator Paul persues a civil suit with a vengeance.

Reap it Boucher
Sen. Rand Paul files lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from neighbor who tackled him and broke multiple ribs in dispute over yard debris
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul is suing his neighbor who admitted to tackling the Congressman as he mowed his yard.
The Republican senator on Friday filed a lawsuit that seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages from neighbor Rene Boucher for the November 3 assault.
In the lawsuit, the Kentucky politician said he suffered 'physical pain and mental suffering' when Boucher tackled him to the ground while he was out mowing his lawn, causing him to fracture multiple ribs. In the aftermath, Sen. Paul also dealt with recurrent pneumonia because of the broken ribs.
Boucher has said previously that his actions were brought on by Sen. Paul repeatedly stacking yard debris near their shared property line in Bowling Green - making it hard for him to sell his home.
The lawsuit calls Boucher's actions 'unnecessarily cruel, malicious, willful, wanton' with total disregard for Sen. Paul's 'rights, life and liberties.'
The lawsuit charges that Sen. Paul 'has been deprived of his enjoyment of life' and left with an increased likelihood of injury and disease.
It also asks the judge to prevent Boucher contacting the Paul family because he 'will continue... the pattern of stalking and harassment.'
Boucher's attorney, Matt Baker, released this statement after Sen. Paul filed his lawsuit on Friday: 'To the best of my knowledge, Sen. Paul has not suffered any loss of any income and doesn't appear that he will in the future. It was established at the sentencing hearing that he does not have any out-of-pocket medical expenses in this case, and at some point after the incident he told Fox News in an on-camera interview that he has not taken any prescription pain medication, and so all that is to say we're going to defend this civil suit just like we would any other and see if we can get it resolved as efficiently as possible.'
Boucher was arrested right after the assault and charged with misdemeanor fourth-degree assault. That charge was later upgraded to a felony - assaulting a member of Congress.
The Democrat doctor pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a $10,000 fine earlier this month.
Boucher has yet to be given a date to start his month-long sentence.
