Re: Misdemeanor Jury Trial, Extortion from "Victim," and Assault Charges
No butthurtness over here. I'm just saying that I individualize my responses based off the OP. The responses that I have gotten from some on this particular thread(not yours) indicates that some feel that I have a bias towards one gender over the other.

Now that's intriguing. I realize it's going OT, but is there a reason behind how you phrased the underlined?

Many DV victims suffer from markedly reduced self-esteem and thus, self-respect.
Otherwise it's too early for me, and I don't get your point.
Sorry.. :embarrassed:
The following statement was made by the poster I was responding to:
Quote:
A lot of people are skeptical by default about DV charges brought to spouses right before or during a divorce proceeding.
I was making the point that one really cannot assume that someone that was a victim of DV right before filing for divorce is manufacturing or embellishing the DV claim. The reason for that is that unless the victim has low self esteem or self respect, then of course they are going to divorce their batterer.
Yes, there are people who manufacturer or embellish DV issues DURING a divorce proceeding, but even then, during a divorce tensions are very high and DV can happen as a result...particularly if they are living in the same home pending the divorce.
