NY man pleads guilty in attack on estranged wife

Criminal Law

A 59-year-old New York man has pleaded guilty to slashing his wife's neck during an attack that ended with him being dragged underneath her car.

The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports that John Gilbert pleaded guilty Wednesday in Ontario County Court to assault, aggravated criminal contempt and endangering the welfare of a child.

Gilbert was facing a February trial on attempted murder charges when a plea agreement was reached with prosecutors.

Authorities say Gilbert attacked Jennifer Gilbert when she went to his home in Geneva in 2009 to pick up her three children. She wasn't badly hurt.

Police said when she tried to escape, her estranged husband clung to the car, then fell underneath it and was dragged for 40 feet, suffering serious injuries.
