More accurately, he got what he deserved IF he did what she says he did.
That the rape, assault, etc. occurred is not a fact. It is a claim by the wife.
That the cops gave it enough credence to file charges is a point in its favor for being true, but only a point.
Such charges are VERY common in bitter divorces.
A good friend of mine had the nuclear option, child molestation, used against him in his divorce. I don’t believe for a moment that it was true, but the mere fact of the accusation just devastated him.
Another friend was physically attacked by his wife during their divorce, trying to provoke him into hitting back. She wanted to be able to claim he was violent.
Agreed. But the physical evidence is supportive, according to the story.
I’m with you in this.
I had to deal with a number of ex-wives - not mine - and just about anything can be slung around hoping to get something to stick to the wall.
Interesting that she drove to the boat ramp and was taking pictures of him when he made the gesture. So I would say the gesture was deserved - the shooting not.
Both happened to me during my divorce. My ex came at me with her fingernails as I was having the local police escort her out of my home. The attack was witnessed by two uniformed officers.
No arrest was made, no written notes were made of it. When I asked them why they told me "our policy is we don't arrest women for DV." I asked if I could get a written copy of that policy. Sadly, one was not available.
Similar thing happened to a former Tank Platoon Commander friend of mine down in Texas. She wanted to move out of the state in the divorce, and take the kids with her. He would not agree, sued for custody, and won.
Three weeks later, he goes on a business trip, and returns with a Sherriff waiting on his doorstep. In front of the neighbors, he’s hauled off in cuffs on the charge of child rape.
DA’s office interviews the mother, then interview’s the child (7 years old). DA is brought in, and he interviews the kid. He sends the kid to the shrink, who interviews her and they drop the charges on the basis that it was abundantly clear the mother had coached the kid as to what to say.
No marks on the body, no nothing. Just the kid’s accusation. Mom fesses up.
Nothing like a woman scorned.
