: Florida Divorce - Child Custody - Domestic Abuse LawVictim of Domestic Violence is Jailed for Contempt ? for Fear of Testifying Against Alleged Abuser
By Janet Langjahr
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, as I’ve previously posted.
A UK Husband allegedly pursued his fleeing Wife, each in their own respective cars. Husband rammed Wife’s car and then set it on fire.
Husband was arrested and confined until trial.
Wife was too terrified to testify against Husband at trial.
So Wife, the victim, was put in jail for contempt of court, while Husband was at large.
Because of Wife’s silence, Husband was convicted only of threatening behavior and damaging property.
At the conclusion of his trial, Husband was released due to time already served.
