Interesting at his lack of remorse when he says..
"Do you really think I give a flying ****?"
Also the judge seems very sympathetic and chummy with him
But yesterday, a judge praised Wicks for leading a ‘respectable and successful’ life and described the fateful argument as a ‘tiff’ as he handed down sentence.

I wouldn't have walked, I'd have run. Or picked up the unthrown plates and moved them to a position of safety. Or tried to pin her arms down so she couldn't throw any more. But not hit her, no - that's just getting into a brawl, and I don't do that. He didn't need to either. The idea of hitting someone you're married to leaves me baffled.
But it's clearly not murder. And the remark quoted by the OP isn't necessarily anything to do with whether he felt remorse or not; I suspect the Mail has reported it out of context. But it's like I said: he's lucky.

I think it's hard to know how you'd react in such a situation. Especially after a skinfull. I don't think my OH would react if I threw a plate at him because it would be so out of character. For all we know she could have been something like this everytime she had a drink....and he snapped. Everyone has a breaking point.
Not defending him though...

My first wife was very aggresive and violent (whereas I am quite easy going).
She would often "rant" at me just to get a reaction (and did hit me a few times).
I am afraid holding down someones arms when they are in a mood like that is NOT going to calm the situation down.
They will wriggle, and lift their arms to try to hit you more. The more you hold their arms the angrier they will get.
The only solution in a situation like that is one or the other person going out the house for a few hours (or even all night).
But if it gets that bad the mnarriage is probably on the way out anyway (my wife and I divorced about 30 years ago) and she then basically drank herself to death.
