He faces up to 66 years in jail after being convicted of 18 felony counts after abandoning his family 10 years ago when he sailed his boat down the Mississippi.

Who get's the pets? Unfortunately, the fact we love our little companions so much can be a bad thing when it comes to divorce. And the reality is, they grow attached to us too. After a sincere plea that he was devastated because he had developed such a close relationship with his wife's dog, a court in Spain granted a man visitation rights to the much adored pup.
