Good. In return, he took her entire life away from her. Now he and his daughter can live a normal life.
The weakest part of Domestic Violence investigation is the investigation. I took over a small department where officers never arrested. I changed that but it was not easy.
These investigations require solid investigative steps. When the laws first past, we arrested only for visible injuries. The law has since changed. To my knowledge, there is nothing in there about irritating the spouse. What may be misinterpreted is the dominant agressor theory.
Dominant aggressor creates an environment of fear or threatening environment. If properly investigated and documented, an arrest can be made without an assault occurring.
Things like: destroying your spouses property. This is especially true if the property was either a gift from a former lover OR a gift of great importance to the victim such as a mementor from a deceased parent.
Must run but the above is only ONE example. I arrested a guy who trapped his wife on the couch, screamed in her ear and smashed a lammp next to her head. Never touched her but she was in fear and not free to leave.
I disagree with that. SHE took her own life away by her own actions. He didn’t have anything to do with it.
