There was recently a local case where everyone suspected a gal had been shoved out of a moving vehicle by her boyfriend, who had a history of domestic abuse. While still in her hospital bed, she tried to cover for him and claimed she had been reaching for something and “it went wrong.”
The guy’s family went to the media and outright lied (he’s an ANGEL of course) that he had no history of violent behavior despite his record being public.
Wow.
But not uncommon.
She’s probably afraid for her life.
Abusers want control, period.
One of our clients’ husband got out of prison and went straight to her home and killed her, then stayed in the apartment parking lot and waited for suicide-by-cop.
Abusers are cowards.
