If the rumors are correct, that Tiger’s fling started in June, then he has been lying to her all this time, and now she finds out the truth and she is incensed. I do not think it is good that she picked up a golf club, but so far we have only heard that she wrecked PROPERTY with it. Tiger was scratched in the face — maybe she scratched him with her hand. I do not condone it but no doubt the betrayal to her was about as painful as anything he received.
I am aware that if there are charges, it looks bad for her, but I think that Tiger should NOT press charges, if all she did was fly into a rage and superficially scratch his face.
Unless she really hit him seriously with the club, she will not get jail time nor will she lose custody. What one might do to a cheating spouse has NO crossover to what one would do to one’s innocent baby.
Would you say the same thing if Tiger suspected his wife of infidelity and then slapped her in the mouth hard enough to draw blood?
“If the rumors are correct...”
Mark Sanford was a proven cheater, admitted it himself publicly. Did his wife assault him with a deadly weapon?
What would be your response if she did?
If all that occurred was that she scratched his face with nails, then she will probably be fine. It’s hard to determine what happened due to rumors and falsified police reports. If she hit him with the club, she’s a criminal.
As far as pressing charges goes, it is the state that does that, not the spouse.
I disagree with you as far as what one does to one’s cheating spouse has NO crossover to what one would do to one’s innocent baby.
First off, it shows that she is capable of rage and capable of acting out physically on that rage.
Secondly, have you never heard of a spouse killing their children to get revenge on their mate? Both men and women have done this.
If she is charged and he is shown to have cheated on her, it's unlikely a jury that includes women will find her guilty. And then he will be seen as a double loser.
