Shelley Malil was just convicted of first degree murder this week. He is a well known actor, and has appeared in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Scrubs, NYPD Blue, West Wing, and ER.
Shelley admitted to stabbing his girlfriend multiple times after coming home to see her drinking wine with another man. The attack happened in 2010, and Shelley has changed his story multiple times. His initial testimony was that he "accidentally" stabbed her over 20 times after being hit from behind. Later, he admitted to the crime, and will now be spending life behind bars.
I think that this is a good example of the fact that no one is above the law. Often times, actors who commit crimes are let off with much less of a punishment than many others would normally receive; however, in this case the punishment does fit the crime.
