Believe it or not, I'm a little skeptical about this. The recordings are crappy and so far they've only shown up on a gossip site. Plus, they've been conveniently "leaked" as the woman tries to get more money out of Mel.
I'll wait until I see/hear it from a more legitimate source.
keep in mind you can't be punished by the law for being an asshole.
unless he made actual threats or convicted of some sort of battery he shouldn't be punished.
if he has kids with her good luck getting any kind of visitation mel.
So Mel Gibson may be tried in a LA court?
I guess now the only real question is " Does Australia/USA have an extradition policy?".
