Was he actually abusive

In 1996, Mitchell was convicted of beating his wife. He was given three years’ probation and ordered to perform community service and attend counseling classes for spouse abusers. After violating his probation, he was sentenced to 30 days in jail. Sasha has stated that Jeannette was abusive toward their children, and claims that he retains full custody of the children while she is only allowed limited supervised visits.
