A Politician is Charged with DV

warble writes "We finally have an example of a Democratic politician that was subjected to DV. He has filed charges against his wife for domestic assault, and he claims that his wife provoked him to slap her by her assault. Clearly, he was a victim of DV. The story can be found here. I will be interested to have you guys help me learn if this State (Maryland) has primary aggressor laws. It will also be interesting to learn if this four-term Democrat voted in favor of those laws. I am wondering if we should make a lot of noise over this event. What do you think? Also of note is that the Legislative Woman’s Caucus is affording him special treatment by failing to condemn him directly as they would a male in the general public."Source: The Baltimore Sun [newspaper]
