Topic	How come domestic abusers often get off scot free?
Geiki_Ganger 02/17/24 12:39:14 PM #5:	It is a delicate balance to strike for judges. If they make it too easy for the abused, then anyone can just say "I was abused" in a matrimonial dispute to screw the other side. On the other hand, it is often quite hard to prove something that happened if you do not have evidence other than your words (keep in mind physical injuries could and have been faked by people in the past). Most judges are aware of this barrier. Most of the time, it comes down how the judge feel that day and which side (or their lawyer) is more persuasive/sympathetic. Not ideal, but what can you do. --- Nintendo 3DS Friend Code: 3368 - 1137 - 5460 http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q155/Gamecubesupreme/sf7y9s.jpg <cite>Geiki_Ganger posted [p:978893685] in How come d...
