In 2004? Of course she did. If it was 1984 then you might have a point. I am just real skeptical about this whole thing. I'll wait to hear what the investigations come up with. Either way no matter what, he is done on the bench. So she got what she wanted. I guess the thing with me is, granted he whopped her ass and maybe he was a lousy father. But to wait and destroy him and your mom after all those years had passed. I don't know about all that. If he was beating her to a bloody pulp or raping her, maybe I could understand some payback. But over this...............
I have a belief of what I think was happening, but it would be speculatory, so I'll just wait to see what the professionals conclude.
what the fuck are you on about?
if you truly were interested in what is going, you'd be reading all the details that are starting to surface
--she doesn't want to destroy his career--she's actually somewhat saddened about what has happened to him (typical of an abuse victim)
--the history of his abuse is long--she didn't just randomly set up the camera to record this, as if it was the first time. Are you serious?
--he and the mother are separated, and have been for some time.
--it is very possible that her intent is to protect whoever is still with him (a younger sister?) her mother, whom he continues to terrorize, or many other things.
--I simply can not fathom why your default assumptions always lean towards the clear victim in this case perpetrating some kind of "fraud" simply to wreck her father.
--why wait 7 years? really? really, you ahve to think more than 2 minutes about this? for fucks sake--she was 15! she had to live with this human ass-stain. so did her mother, and possibly her younger sister.
You clearly have no clue what life is like for battered women--which is what we have here. Getting out of that life is extremely difficult, as monsters like this man instill in them the sense that their abuse is
their fault, and they feel completely powerless to leave.
YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE. I'm going to assume something here, simply because you're mind is so god damn warped that you process this situation as a clear fault of the victim:
was your mother battered? Do you batter your wife? Have you battered your daughter?
you see, I wouldn't be surprised if you do, as it would explain so many things about you. Of course, even if you do, you would never realize that you were abusive. Such tiny men convince themselves that they are in the right--that the women in their lives deserve this terror, for making their lives miserable (as this judge has already described his daughter).
You know what--you and al198 need to get together and have a woman-battering party. Then you can maybe live out all of those homoerotic fantasies that you know you have at night, but have always been afraid to address. Such tends to be the case with misogynists and abusers such as yourselves.
I'm done.
