Randolph Costa was allegedly blasted at close range by Evelyn Barnave who faces 25 years in jail if found guilty of attempted murder.

The 59-year-old initially pointed the finger at his girlfriend, but he is now refusing to co-operate with prosecutors in her trial at Brooklyn Supreme Court.

I know of a guy that was stabbed by his wife in the chest and the blade nicked his aorta. He wouldn’t press charges.

I guy near where I live was shot 8 times by his girlfriend’s estranged husband and didn’t press charges.

I would have gotten the hint after the first or second time at most. No way he would have had to come back six more times.

She shot him because he wants to marry her? Couldn’t she just say “no?”

I'm a lawyer. I did a divorce case a while back. We were in full evidentiary hearing to divide property, child custody, spousal support, etc. It was really nasty. We broke for lunch. Ninety minutes later, the judge took the bench, the lawyers were at counsel table, court report and court clerk were ready to rock, and neither party was to be found. The bailiff walked in and reported that he just saw them "totally making out" in the parking lot.

We're a magnificent species. We really are.
