At least the criminal is making things easier for the police by recognizing a history of violence.

The headline could just as easily, and accurately, read "Tattletale Wife Battered...Again"

So, his defense is he got angry because his wife had complained about his violence so he beat her again? Wonderful!

He sounds like a person of very little quality.
Fighto!
Another cowardly wife basher. Would love to see him go toe-to-toe - with a big man half his age. See how tough this vile old man is then.

I knew this was not the first time and nor has it been 4 or 5 times unless they are newly married and very doubtful they are.
Years ago, my ex husband beat me and the police would say you can’t touch her she’s a foreigner. It appears nowadays all women are getting the protection they need and deserve.
