Maybe you haven't followed story, but Murphy publicly coldcocked his girlfriend in a Baltimore bar.
The judge felt that was enough for an A&B conviction.
She didn't think enough of herself to press the case so at least in this instance we're not talking about a "scorned biatch" ruining someone's career.
Murphy is doing a pretty good job of it all by himself.....
I was responding to the sense of absolutism here. My bro worked Boston PD for 7-8 years and he knew more than a few guys that had their jobs jammed up over vengeful ex. They weren’t beaters, just guys who didn’t pony up enough support or didn’t see eye to eye with some women any longer. It doesn’t always take much for someone to get in trouble on a domestic charge.
In this case though this guy should be fired from the job.
