I can't believe this. Regardless of how someone feels about someone else's romantic relationships (which are not actually anyone's business besides the two, or occasionally more, people involved) I can't believe that your mother thinks attempted murder of two women is ok...because that's essentially what this is.
"Oh, he's from the old country and doesn't hold with divorce." Well, tough, quite frankly. It doesn't matter whether he does or does not hold with divorce, the fact is, the law states he *is* divorced, and his ex-wife has every right to date whoever she chooses and expect that he will not interfere.
Also...community service? For aggravated driving and attempted harm on two people?!! I knew of someone, in the UK, who went to prison for 18 months for attempting to run someone off the road. Community service is not harsh enough.
