Arrest
Victoria Vetri (legally Victoria Rathgeb) had been charged with attempted murder after she allegedly shot her husband from close range inside the Hollywood apartment that they share after an argument on Saturday, October 16, 2010. Vetri was arrested the same day by the Los Angeles Police Department’s Hollywood Division and has remained jailed since then on $1.53 million bail, which the judge refused to reduce. In Jan 2011 she was denied a reduction of the charge of attempted murder and was ordered to stand trial on this charge.
In September 2011, Vetri pled no contest to a reduced charge of attempted voluntary manslaughter and was sentenced to nine years in state prison.

Famous quotes containing the word arrest:
“An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so.”
—Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
“The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Let me arrest thy thoughts; wonder with me,
Why plowing, building, ruling and the rest,
Or most of those arts, whence our lives are blest,
By cursed Cain’s race invented be,
And blest Seth vexed us with Astronomie.”
—John Donne (c. 1572–1631)
