A woman was murdered in cold blood, according to the responding officer the "gun barrel was in contact with her body." That's cold-blooded murder Judge Teresa Carr Deni...not a "crime of passion." That's domestic violence Mr. defense attorney Thomas Burke...not a "crime of passion." And, Mr. Joseph A. Slobodzian, a reporter crafting a story with the express purpose of eliciting sympathy for the perpetrator of the ultimate domestic violence against a woman...needs to put down his pencil and notepad and find something else to do.
If you are a survivor of domestic violence, cultivate the capacity to neutralize the object of your fear and you will discover how utterly empowering it is for you, even while you maintain realistic precautions with respect to this person. You will discover a side of yourself you knew before the battering relationship, and you will be happy that you did.
