Scot free....

I've been watching courtroom TV since i was in highs chool. Judge Judy, Divorce Court, and multiple others. while I understand that it is TV, and there (hopefully) are parts that are acted out, or aren't real, i sometimes see a case that hits too close to home.
I beleive that silence is the an act of death (suicide or others) because my silence can not only prevent the help of others, but it can prevent awareness of issues that are not talked about in society, popular media, and so on. Voicing the concern is better than silence because my concern (even if I am unable to do anything) can help ignite concern in someone who has the power to do something.
I make it CLEAR that I am not a lawyer, and i do not practice law. but as an American it is my sacrosnct right to know the laws of my country as the presently stand and to enforce and protect the laws as long as they do not criminalize a minority or usurp ( in intent, theory, or practice) the Constitution of the United States of America.


An example, on a courtroom TV show I witnessed a defendant confess in open air that she had committed felonies and intimidation on her husband. The husband was petrified to leave her because she had tight control of his financial situation and had no idea of where to go.

She thought she was protected under the law for the criminal assault she perpetrated on her husband. while the judge in that court couldn't sentence her under those legal grounds. the judge made it clear that even though she is a woman she is still equally responsible under the law for her actions.

Since I was a child i noticed that girls always seemed to believe that if they hit boys they were free from liability and could proceed to... while this was the opposite for boys. at the same age my mother told me that this is not true, and no matter what no one has the right to hit another person.

This woman obviously needs to be off the streets because she is a danger to others. She is not above the law, and she has no right to use such justification for her actions.

If you know of abuse, it is a crime to not report it. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE is not a joke.
