A guy I know got into an arguement with his wife (they had been having problems for a while) and beat her up. This guy is a cop and had been for 15-20 years. Beat her up in front of the oldest of the two kids (13 years old). His defense through the entire time was that the dog did all the "damage" to his wife. Keep in mind the daughter saw it all. They went to trial two weeks ago, verdict came back yesterday NOT GUILTY. The jury bought the DOG DEFENSE!! The wife couldn't belive it. With the daughters testimony, the jury still judged him not guilty. The wife is distraught. He will lose his job and hve to live with the thought of him beating up his wife in front of his girl. Ke knows his daughter knows he is guilty.....how could you face your own daughter knowing she knows you lied about beating her Mom up? I don't get it.
