Houston County judge to consider Dothan doctor's request for bond

By The Associated Press
  DOTHAN, Alabama — A Houston County judge says he will take a request for bond under advisement for a Dothan doctor convicted of domestic violence.
Circuit Court Judge Larry Anderson heard arguments in the request for Andrew Osborne, who was convicted last week of felony second-degree domestic violence. After the conviction, Anderson ordered deputies to take Osborne into custody until his sentencing on July 1.
The jury convicted Osborne of assaulting his wife, Suzette Marie Osborne. District Attorney Doug Valeska says the victim described being hit with an open hand more than 30 times until she blacked out. Suzette Osborne also suffered a broken arm during the assault during the fall of 2010.
Anderson says he doesn't think there's any danger of Osborne fleeing, but he's concerned about possible danger to his wife.
