Marylin is even quoted at the time stating, “Joe never beat me without a good reason.”
Sportswriter Stacy Edwards says: ‘The way I heard it, Joe let her have it. It was pretty bad. After he hit her, she told him she’d had enough and wanted out of the marriage.
Hitting is never excusable and is indecent.
