Alleged abusers could avoid jail until conviction

He opposes any plan to release accused domestic batterers. "By keeping these people in jail, I'm doing my part to protect the women and children of this community," Brizzi said.

How About Women Who Abuse? (Score:2) by Luek on Sunday September 21, @05:38PM EST (#1) (User #358 Info) """""I'm doing my part to protect the women and children of this community," Brizzi gushed.""""""" I guess that he doesn't know that most child abuse is done by women. So...who is protecting the children in abusive situations? And this Brizzi nimrod is evidently oblivous to the statistics that show women are just as likely to be abusers of men as men are of women. So....who is protecting the men who are in abusive situations? Brizzi is a bastard!

my own experience (Score:0) by Anonymous User on Monday September 22, @01:28PM EST (#3) Putting men in jail before conviction IS the punishment for alleged DV. I know, I was denied bail on basic "she said he did" charges. Stripped, deloused, thrown in a county jail with only one phone call for over a week, forced to share a cell with a convict. Once the facts came out, I was free. But I had already done the time... DV advocacy in courts is anti-due process. The DV advcoates SHARE the public offices with the DA's!
