Unfortunately Arch, this happens all over and a lot. Are the laws right regarding child support and visitation...maybe, maybe not, but it does not give anyone the right to beat someone like this. And to know that she tried to get a restraining order and was denied, even though restraining orders are a joke...if someone wants you, a piece of paper is not going to stop them...
Well yea. You guys seem to give off that image of self control but you know the marines better than I do.
i used to think that military men wouldn't do this type of thing...but it doesn't seem so unusual when we have dirty cops...there seems to be this sense of being untouchable...i also believe that these men/women coming home after being gone for long periods of time are not appropriately acclamated back into society...
I don't think they expected for this to happen. That's why the bailiffs weren't there. It isn't everyday that a man beats a woman inside a court house full of police officers. That guy was really pissed to do all of that.
That would be nice because it is not possible to have a bailiff stationed every where! all that we ask is a little common courtesy of a 24 hour notice.
Divorce hearing in a court of law. In Colorado every courtroom has a Judge and bailiffs. You have criminals, hearings where parties disagree etc etc. They stand at the back of the courtroom and if you get out of line they beat your ass or shoot you. Florida may want to look into that.
I got a restraining order against someone once. The judge asked us to come to his chamber and try to work it out. We went from the court to the chambers and the bailiff went right along with us. When we got in there the guy went assinine. The bailiff was right behing us the whole time. He told the judge what the guy was doing and we went back to court where the judge said okay that was a waste and signed the order. So yeah. Here they make sure you are safe in the court and courthouse building. I think it is terribly shortsighted. That woman should have been safe there of all places.
Really too bad. She's pretty. I've been mad, MAD at females I was sexually/emotionally involved with, but my 'move' was never to hit them, so that's so hard for me to process where that impulse comes from. If I'm raging at a chick, I'll just get up and LEAVE. Anywhere. Don't have to know where I'm going, just away from her. Dude looked like he would have killed that girl or come damn near close to it if he hadn't been tasered. I knew a chick a while ago who kept this 'cute' little .22 in her carry purse. I used to call her crazy and she would always come back with, 'I'm not trying to box no man.':smt061 Maybe she had a point.
Not if you have to be worried about hitting the woman in the process. And we don't know how much time it took for them to get to her.
Unfortunate, but divorce settings seem to bring out the emotional worst in people. It seems that this happened, not in general court where bailiffs would be present, but in the judge's chambers. It's good that they were able to restrain him quickly or this could have been a matter of homicide. I remember an incident that occurred in an attorney's office while he conducted a mediation with the divorcing spouses and their respective attorneys. The husband was asked questions about his affair during the marriage, and hearing all the details was more than the wife could bear. She pulled a hand gun out of her purse and fired six shots in the meeting room. It's good that she was a poor shot and no one was injured. Often, people plainly abandon all reason during divorce and it often becomes a War of the Roses on every level. Asset disposition, child support and child custody are all issues that drive otherwise sane people to the breaking point.
Unfortunately, because he had no (bare handed) weapon in his hand, he will not get nowhere near the time he deserves for this crime since this occurred in Florida. At the most he will get only 5 years.
