Rich Kid Can't Believe Judge Convicted Him of Beating Girlfriend - Christopher Gardner Beaman

He's supposed to be a descendant of Henry Cabot Lodge, but Christopher Gardner Beaman, 24 appears to be headed to jail instead of fame and fortune. The blue blooded Beaman is pictured at right after hearing a judge convict him of attacking his girlfriend and NOT buying his lawyer's arguement that the young man had something called “intermittent explosive disorder.” Here's more on the story from the Boston Herald, which also has more "shocked" pictures of Mr. Beaman. At right, the "Did the old dude just say guilty?" photo of the day.

Christopher Gardner Beaman, 24, a descendant of Henry Cabot Lodge, was sentenced to a year in jail after his petite former girlfriend told a rapt courtroom about the unprovoked attack that lacerated her liver and temporarily put her in a wheelchair.
“He hit me where all my vital organs were. If his fist had moved a little to the right or a little to the left, I would not be here today,” said the brunette from the witness stand at Somerville District Court on Thursday. “This would be a homicide proceeding.”
The woman, who asked that her name not be used, delivered the emotional victim impact statement in front of a courtroom filled with 11 family and friends of Beaman, a popular organizer of Boston Frisbee and flag football teams and political documentary groups.
Among Beaman’s supporters was his mother, Dr. Roseanna H. Means, who took out a restraining order against her son after he allegedly pushed her down stairs at her Wellesley home Dec. 10, 2006, court records show. That assault and battery case was continued for one year without a finding Jan. 30, 2007, and Beaman was put on probation for one year, court records show.
“I would like him to get help,” said Beaman’s 30-year-old ex, who was accompanied by her parents and attorney John G. Swomley. “If Chris does not want the help, at least take him off the streets. The next time, someone will be maimed or killed.”
