She did everything right. The law failed her and that judge's words in light of the failure are super smug.

I don't think any is blaming the victim, but if one begs the judge to keep their abuser locked up...

I hope nobody alerts on this and it stands. It's clear who is unhinged and completely 'hysterical'.

I totally disagree. Blame the perpetrator for his crime, the law for not protecting her, but don't

BS. The man in the OP was convicted of many crimes and should have been in jail.
