Bynum's Husband Holds 'Last Call Sale'

ATLANTA — Less than two months after his arrest on a wife-beating charge, Bishop Thomas W. Weeks III is offering a steep discount on DVDs of his million-dollar wedding to televangelist Juanita Bynum and a book they wrote together.
His lawyer says he may seek alimony because of the losses her accusations are causing him.
Describing his "Last Call Sale" offer, Weeks tells visitors to his Web site, "Make sure that you get it right now because plenty of people are going to ask for it immediately. Get it while it lasts."
Bynum made a reputation on her no-nonsense talk for black, Christian single women about breaking free of sexual promiscuity. After she and Weeks married in a televised ceremony in July 2002, they wrote "Teach Me How to Love: The Beginnings" and held seminars on marriage and relationships.
But they separated earlier this year and on Aug. 22, Bynum claimed her estranged husband beat her in a hotel parking lot. According to a police report, she told officers Weeks "choked her, pushed her down, kicked and stomped her ... until a bellman pulled him off of her."
Weeks has pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and making terroristic threats. He is free on $40,000 bond and is not allowed to have contact with Bynum. Bynum's divorce papers cited "cruel treatment" and said the marriage is "irretrievably broken."
It was not clear how long the "Last Call Sale" has been going on Weeks' site. The wedding DVD, book and a T-shirt are now available online for $10, advertised as a $60 discount.
