An Apology or Slap in the Face?
Posted on February 12th, 2010 by Marvin Schuldiner
I have written before about the power and effectiveness of a sincere apology to help resolve a dispute. Now from West Virginia, a completely different way to resolve a dispute: a slap.
Stewart Altmeyer, a prosecutor in Kanawha County, was suspended without pay for one month for agreeing to drop a larceny charge in exchange for allowing the alleged victim to slap the defendant.
In a mediation, I (or most of my colleagues) do not allow violence to be the outcome of any mediation.
