The problem is that you don't have to do ANYTHING to wind up convicted of domestic violence.Texsquatch wrote:If your daughter gets slapped around - just even a little bit - are you going to to fight for the guy's gun rights?
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.
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.
