Not saying the pictures are telling the entire story, but how likely is it that there is no actual video especially since pictures seem to be stills from a video.
To my knowledge, the stills were released as part of the restraining order. It's not like the images were sent out solo and clearly that was done because she didn't want people saying she was completely lying. I believe she put the restraining order out herself, but it's probably wouldn't be hard for people to get and it was going to come out regardless. That said, I wouldn't want my daughter to put out a video of her being abused smd live on the net forever. The public may never see the video.
What exactly was your experience and how does it relate to what we've seen so far? Was media used in the case against you? Were there text messages, emails or recordings used? Not blaming you, but what could you have done better to protect yourself. No disrespect, if you are trying to give prospective or educate that would be better than simply saying you are bias and we are soft for not completely protecting another man. You also need to accept that he is not you and he maybe guilty on some level even if they both hit each other.
BGOL is no longer a safe space for men, so what I will say in short is, my ex attacked me a few months after I had three different surgeries on my left shoulder. I was still in PT and couldn't do much with it.
Should I have left the house, yes, but given how it transpired, it wasn't necessarily the first thing that came to mind. I tried holding her two arms with my injured left arm and was trying to push her off of me. Long story short, she had a scratch on her neck (picture was submitted as evidence) from when I pushed her off.
Tha narrative that was told to the police was that she was strangled. No evidence of strangulation (which never happened mind you) but I was taken to jail, given no bond and was in there for 38 days after never seeing a jail in person in my life (I am 45, three kids). I am not that guy and no one who has ever met or knows me knows it was bullshit. I was days away from running out of leave at my GS-15 step 7 government job and ended up taking a plea at the advice of the lawyer I paid 20k to represent me. I was always going to go to trial and said it many times on the recorded jail phone.
My/the truth did not matter AT ALL and would not be relevant until trial... My trial date was set for June and I went in, in January. I am actually one of the good men out here, and if it can happen to me, I strongly believe it can happen to anybody. Y'all have no fucking clue.
My issue is most yell from the mountain tops as if they know what they're talking bout and they don't. It's not easy for us out here and I love women. Shit, women love me. I ain't never had any issues getting or keeping them and I know how to treat them. Anyway, I'm just trying open some eyes based on my perspective and if that makes me a woman hater, then so be it. Goofy to me, but whatever.
I pray none of y'all get caught up because literally a few seconds can change your life forever. I could say much more but I've already said enough. I believe I've touched on my situation in the past but likely didn't give as much context.
Forgot to mention - According to her, she never attacked me. The story is, I lost it cuz she rolled her eyes at me...
Up to some of y'all on here, I should have gotten the fucking electric chair and hence why I continue to hold my line to believe all the evidence when and if it comes out and if the roles were reversed, I'd say the same thing if it were a dude.. most can't relate to my perspective though.
Peace, bro.
