Twelve years given for assault

By Beacon Journal staff

A 25-year-old Akron man who attacked a woman after she ended their relationship was sentenced Monday to 12 years in prison.

James Coplin was sentenced by Summit County Common Pleas Judge Paul J. Gallagher on charges of attempted murder and intimidation of a crime victim.

Prosecutors said Coplin choked and stabbed a woman in the abdomen Aug. 31 after she ended their relationship. Friends tried to intervene, and Coplin threatened to kill a male friend of the woman's if he called police.

The victim suffered multiple injuries requiring corrective and reconstructive surgery, prosecutors said.

From what I read, her new boyfriend must be some kind of a Sissy. I guess he didn't want to get involved. Most Sissy's won't and he didn't. She may not have got injured if he would have got in the game.
