Domestic Violence

Increased federal funding to fight domestic violence—however well-intentioned—has caused the number of “DV” cases to increase dramatically in recent years. Unfortunately, many false accusations have been among the increased charges. The trend to prosecute people based merely on the suspicion of police officers, when there is neither physical evidence of abuse nor an actual claim of abuse, is highly troubling. Many times, law enforcement will be called in hopes of de-escalating a situation, and overzealously file criminal charges based on suspicion rather than evidence of a person’s guilt.

To make matters worse for a person who is accused, the police and district attorney’s office rarely looks into whether the other party has a motive to lie or exaggerate their claim about the person charged.
