No, I read that pretty clearly and it upsets me greatly. It is unfortunate that he only spent one night in jail. Not a lot of details are really given on that charge other than that document. Why did he spend so little time in jail? Were the charges dismissed? Strangulation is a huge red flag for violence. The act happened in Indiana. In Shawnee, OK, Troy D Loveland was sent to jail for 23 years due to a domestic violence strangulation charge. He was later given a life sentence due to a separate murder via strangulation. I would think that Peggy should have filed some sort of restraining order with her local law enforcement in Eufaula. Maybe I am a bit naive, but I would like to think our LE system would provide meaningful help to her.
Regardless, all of this happened and she STILL lived with him afterwards. This is something that I am struggling to understand. Why stick around? The situation is a time bomb just waiting to explode. There was a previous fb post that suggested that he provided her with a strong standard of living. He paid for the housing arrangement, he bought her that nice truck, and he helped finance her education. IF that were true, she may have stuck around in order to provide a better standard of living for herself and her son or perhaps there was some sort of emotional attachment.
Maybe I am just naive little boy..... but it's hard for me to sympathize with the missing in this case given the information presented thus far. Bottom line: If there is abuse, you gotta get out. Don't risk it.
Sorry to anyone I offend, but I hold my right to have my own opinion, even if it goes against the grain.
You might understand it better if you were a woman.
