Domestic violence is the result of a bad relationship, not something that “just happens.”

Male, female—shouldn’t happen.

There is no excuse for coming to blows in any relationship, but it’s not a perfect world, is it?

Or do you think that is somehow impossible and never happens?

Perhaps “the Vicar” could tell us his views on Mary Winkler’s slaying of her preacher husband by shooting him in the back with a shotgun.

Or do you think that is somehow impossible and never happens?

What a sucker! What was this guy thinking anyway?

How the heck did THAT get by his radar?

Boy howdy, he should have seen all that crap coming a long way off!

Sounds like he didn’t have his personal life in order or have his head on straight anyway.

IF this is true, he needs to own up to his behavior, get some real help and face the music like a REAL MAN and not hide behind this battered husband defense.

A REAL MAN is the leader of his family and a leader does not abuse in ANY way those he cares for.

He was found guilty at trial and ejected from the Party in disgrace. He Appealed. At his appeal it became very apparant that his ‘girlfriend’ had been abusive, voilent and suicidal and he had merely restrained her from hurting herself. He had been trying to protect her from herself. She agreed. He was acquitted.

Career ruined.

When my ex-wife and her 300 lb father beat me up, and I didn’t hit her back, but nevertheless I was the one charged with domestic abuse, I wanted to defend myself using the simple truth, i.e. she hit me, I didn’t hit her. In fact, I wanted her charged, since that is what really happened.

But everyone I consulted with advised me that I would be “laughed out of the courtroom”, and that she would never be charged. Basically, effectively, any way you look at it, the truth is irrelevant in these cases.

So, given that women abuse men roughly equal with men abusing women, a better question might be, why do you “rarely hear about this defense being used by a man”?

I’m guessing the only reason this guy was bold enough to try to defend himself with “battered husband syndrome”, and the reason his lawyer went along with it, is because of his position as a Representative. When any regular Joe gets beat up by his wife and then HE is charged for it, the truth is not an option.
