The children are left in the middle and the chaos is continued. Why people tend to go toward abusers over and over again and why abusers seek out these weakened people is beyond me. It's sick.Lorachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04761981880627584477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-29083057314657208342013-08-05T14:38:13.761-04:002013-08-05T14:38:13.761-04:00The garage door actually did not work.

Rico had tried to frame two different partners previously. Not admissible. Rico had beaten Marissa into the hospital previously. Not admissible. Rico had a long history of violence against women. Not admissible. Rico had a restraining order against him and if he had obeyed it none of this would have happened. Not admissible. Rico's testimony was purchased by the prosecution by not trying him for violating the restraining order Marissa had against him. Not admissible. All of the abuser turned accuser's prior baby mommas had lived in terror of his man. Not admissible. Marissa was an excellent shot and could have riddled him with bullets. Not introduced. Marissa most likely was suffering from post partum depression, traumatic brain injury, and or post traumatic stress disorder. Not introduced. No one can blame this jury. All of the blame lies with the prosecutor, the judge and their hero the abuser turned accuser<br /><br />Read more: http://ideas.time.com/2013/07/29/the-problem-with-if-zimmerman-were-black/#ixzz2b7ZzHE9KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-1459765389683296792013-07-23T06:53:50.671-04:002013-07-23T06:53:50.671-04:00If you read only her family and lawyers' press...If you read only her family and lawyers' press releases (conveniently released right after the Zimmerman verdict), you get a different picture than if you know all of the facts of the case. The judge, after "weighing the credibility of all witnesses and other evidence," denied her SYG motion.<br /><br />She claimed SYG because she was trapped by a "mechanical failure" of the garage door that worked when she parked the night before and worked when police tested it afterward the incident. Either we live in a world of self-repairing garage doors or garage-door fairies or she lied under oath .<br /><br />Four months after the incident, she violated a restraining order when she was so afraid off him that she needed a gun to protect herself from him, she went to his house alone and unarmed and punched him in the head.<br /><br />She lied about that incident, saying that she wasn't there and had an alibi. When she couldn't produce an alibi, she changed her story and admitted to being there.<br /><br />Her bail was revoked because of that and because she, the defendant and he, the victim, illegally discussed his testimony. He changed his story after that. <br /><br />Here's the Court document: http://www.scribd.com/doc/89763280/Order-Denying-Defendants-Motion-for-Immunity-and-Motion-to-DismissAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528377935446865958.post-53513876735423650462012-05-19T19:52:10.611-04:002012-05-19T19:52:10.611-04:00Absolutely insane.

I have a MA and a teaching credential, human fear knows no boundaries; poor, rich, educated, uneducated, women are stuck between love and fear in so many relationships.
