Hello, faithful readers. I'm back, after a much-needed break. Being a book author and a public speaker and a relationship coach -- not to mention taking care of my long term care insurance clients (see my website for bio details -- www.boomeranglove.com) -- plus the holidays, just sent me into my cave for a while.
But I'm back, and cheering for Woodstock, Illinois, in the Chicago area. A judge there has ruled that allegations of domestic violence throughout a more than 40-year marriage will be admissible at a trial for a man accused of attempting to kill his wife in 2004.
It's about time. Nichole Owens, criminal chief for the state's Atorney's Office, stated that, "Just because no one witnessed the attacks shouldn't erode the statement's legitimacy. That is how the defendant operated. He attacked the victim while no one was there."
What do you think about this ruling? Should the previous violent attacks be told to the jury? Click on the 'Comments' link below to share your thoughts.
