How tf do you even say her name
He pulled a gun and was not in danger of his life thus making a threat. That alone deserves jail time. And then we find out he is the one who escalated the situation in the first place. It’s time we as a society punish angry outrage that leads to fights and worse.
Wow. This defense is trying to undermine her testimony. It doesn't matter why she was where she was, this guy started the shit and then beat her. There is no defense.
