The judge gave her an order of protection until they have a hearing on it....June 9th, I believe and then he gets to tell his side. My gut is telling me the husband is okay here. She dropped the protection order when he wanted to subpeona her's and the kid's medical records...
I'm thinking she may have some mental issues. I think everyone is always ready to jump on the "husband is in the wrong bandwagon" and lately that seems to be the case, but I think this may be a different story.
Even for a *temporary* order of protection, there MUST be {proof} for the judge to sign it. One of the articles stated she had sent photos to friends to protect the *evidence* of abuse. I also see where one of the attacks she had to protect the children from his abuse. As the oldest child accompanied the wife to court, I wouldn't doubt that the child made a statement to the judge as well.
I've known someone who recanted their statement to LE after a 911 call and signing of a complaint. She was slapped with an offense, filing a false police report and had to go before a judge twice. She was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and a monitary fine, not to mention it went on her record.
The judge knew the deal, tried to get her to TELL THE TRUTH, but the husband had talked her into it because he was on probation and he would have had to go to jail...................epilogue to this story is,..........this person I know is now divorced after he tried to kill her and a JUDGE placed a Criminal Restraining Order on the guy (he couldn't even 'utter' his wife's name)
This wife withdrawing previous complaints totally goes in line with abuser's 'honeymoon' after abuse episodes.
Oh, and as for the *mental issues.* Yessssssss, this is a COMMON tactic of abusers. The wife is CraZy.....Sometimes they even have the wife convinced she's 'mental.'
IMHO, many people are ready to jump on the 'abuser' because more times than not, it's
true. His government position, his previous military record mean NOTHING................EXCEPT that he MAY feel he's *entitled.* IMHO, it actually goes against him, imho.
Did you all know that many 'abuse shelters' have special sections for police officer's spouse and family? It's widely known that when a spouse of a police officer reports or calls LE, they often times 'can't find evidence' of abuse, no matter HOW visible 'evidence' may be. LE is a 'brotherhood' of sorts. The responding officer says to the wife, "You don't want your husband to loose his job, do you?" thus he's actually an ACCOMPLICE to the abuse.
Just sayin'

PS.......I don't know about 'spies,' but it MAY be possible he used employees that work for him or with him to follow, tape, film, tap phone, gps, whatever.
As these are GOVERNMENT employees, well............you get my point.
Yeah, gps, cell phones, spy cams at home, .............it wasn't the crime that busted everyone in Watergate,..........it was the cover-up. Hopefully anyone that MAY have assisted this guy in his treatment of his wife and kids will NOT try to cover it up. After all, IF they do and are discovered, they may end up in jail and nothing happen to this guy...............

PPS......I understand HIS OWN SISTER was called to the scene in one of their disputes. She came to the scene to get her brother to LEAVE...........SOMEONE else knows about this abuse.........fran
