Domestic Violence
Underlying Issues in Domestic Violence Cases While domestic violence is truly a problem for a lot of women, current practices make it virtually unnecessary to prove allegations of abuse. Unlike any other crime in the United States, those accused of domestic violence are presumed guilty before having to prove themselves innocent. The evidence of guilt in these cases is often nothing more than the testimony of the alleged victim. While juries are always asked to convict based upon evidence and testimony that shows guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, domestic violence issues are for some reason treated differently. Often these cases are left for juries to decide based upon the alleged victims’ and abusers’ testimony. Surely a jury would need more evidence to convict than a case of “he said/she said”. Domestic violence cases should not be judged by different standards than other crimes. Why would anyone accuse someone of a crime they did not commit?
