"What’s the spousal abuse law in Florida. In some states, it doesn’t matter if the victim wants to press charges or not- the cops are required to make an arrest."

Yes, that is the law in FL. If the police suspect that there's a violent altercation between two people in a domestic relationship, they are required by law to make an arrest. The police conduct in this matter has thus far been FAR below standard practices, in my estimation.

Orlando the golf capitol of the world? I bet the owner of Isleworth (aka Tavistock aka Joe Lewis), thePGA, the Golf Channel (Disney), Nike, Gatorade, American Express, the big consulting company (Accenture??) and every other sponsor has lawyers and PR spin people are there.

Any cops says anything and I bet it will be his or her badge. He hit that tree pretty hard. There are online pics and the whole front is pushed back to the wheel well.

The only thing that will happen is probably a divorce in a few months. Nike will give Elin a few million to play nice. My guess is she is pretty done with him. Someone on the Internet posted a picture of her and for such a young pretty girl she is aging a bit.

I should add that once an arrest has been made, it is virtually impossible - with the way the laws are written today - for the prosecutor NOT to prosecute. And, every state in the union has stripped the spousal privilege from the marital parties in these cases. IOW, unlike other criminal cases, spouses can and will be forced to testify.

Now, some jurisdiction are more adherent to these laws than others. From my experience, FL is on of the more aggressive states with respect to making spouses testify against one another in these cases. Again, FWIW.

Anyone here see her going in jail? Nada. She gets counseling & all is forgotten. What's wrong here is if it's true with the other women Tiger made a quadruple bogie with that ugly other women. 20 million plus women after him & he gets it off with that thing. That shows to me counseling for him is needed.
