I love UFC because not because it's mixed martial arts; which thank-you Skippy, I want to start Aikido. 
Welcome to WS! :rocker:
I hear ya on the abuse and "hitting" part.
BBM~ Well said. She's the one who moved back to Yreka. She's the one who stole a gun, rented a car and drive 1000's of miles to Travis.
imo An abuser never let's you out of sight. Jodi never let Travis out of her sight. She was the abuser. There is no self-defence, except Travis fight for his life.

That got to me too. A little hole in that logic. He (Travis) liked watching cage fights: must be evidence that he abused JA. If that's the case, my dear friend who is a grandmother, gentle and kind, in her 60s, and weighs 100 lbs. dripping wet, might also be an abuser. She LOVES cage fights. (Go figure.) I have focus mits used to practice marshal arts punches...it's fun and good exercise. I could be an abuser, right? I'm not though.
In my personal experience with dv...I got hit. There was no punching bag around. He didn't get into the pugillistic arts other than when he could hit someone who couldn't fight back.
Also have to add that lots of dv victims don't call the cops, but they usually will have said something to at least one friend, or people around have an idea that something is wrong. I wrote in my journal. I didn't want anyone to hate the man I then loved. So I wrote little things that I understood, sort of a code just in case he read it. But I had to share it with someone, even if someone was only me. So I did that. And eventually I did call the cops. Eventually.
And the next woman he was with got abused by him too.
My point is, Jodi was not abused. Her claims are repulsive, self-serving and sick. She is a woman who became obsessed like an addict to her drug of choice. She refused to let go and unfortunately, that was a choice she made that WAS her fault.
