Judge Destroys Ballerina Over Poisoning, Domestic Abuse Claims Against Husband

[@Xocolatben]

Any person who punches holes in the wall and also takes out a firearm and shoots into the ceiling has very questionable self control. This indicates a possibility of DV. Just because someone goes back to a man after DV incidents doesn't mean the DV didn't happen. DV is a very complicated issue for both parties. I haven't followed this case so I'm unaware of all the facts.

[@VioletJoy]

We also don't know if those things actually happened and if so, why. Is it possible that he was being attacked? Is it possible that he covered for her? I have no idea. I'm just saying that we don't know. He actions are not those of a fearful woman.
