Come on man. "In most states a first offense domestic violence charge may allow the defendant to obtain a deferral.", you think this is just a joke? Deferal means a big punishment and convicted by crime. Once convicted, your life will go to hell and you will not get any job, home ...bla bla. State is destroying many people life by just doing this, forcing people to devorce because he will not have job. State doesn't know who to punish who not to punish. They punishes everyone even innocent people and innocent guys suffers whole life for this conviction. For what??? Just a slap?? Anyone can make a mistake doesnt mean state has right to destoy someone's life like this. For example, if DA's kid doesn't go to scool fopr one day, will he cut his kid's leg or will give restraing order for 1 year to his dad? So there should be good judgement for each cases and should be classification of severance. First time if someone did mistake with 1 slap or something and victim says that she doesnt want charges, state should not destroy his life by putting criminal charge on his record just for this. They could put him in jail for 3 or 5 days, thats sufficient enough for this kind of fault. State should re-unite husband wife to make good life, instead they are separating each other and runing life and we are paying tax money for doing all this. RIDICULOUS.!!!!!!!!
