I only say this because whatever the law allows is fine by me, but the closer a person is to a situation, the less they care about the offender's rights, no matter how much time has passed.
The problem is that you don't have to do ANYTHING to wind up convicted of domestic violence.
In most jurisdictions, all that is required is for the wife to call the cops and claim, "he hit me." There doesn't need to be any evidence at all. You show up in court with a he said - she said situation. No bruises, no witnesses, no nothing, but the judge will find the man guilty. I've seen it, personally.
I used to think like Texsquatch, until I saw it for myself. The woman called the cops in front of me after an argument the guy "won". She told the responding officers he hit her and that was it. What I said did not matter. He was arrested and convicted.
It's even worse when the officer lies in his report and says you admitted to an assault that you never committed
