Concealed Carrier Shot Dead

So, has anyone, anywhere, successful prosecuted a DV case?

Yes. Dr. Sam Shepherd. New York(?). Circa 1950s(60s?)...IIRC....nope....

Samuel Holmes "Sam" Sheppard, D.O. was an American neurosurgeon, trained at Los Angeles county hospital. He was convicted in 1954 of the murder of his pregnant wife, Marilyn Reese Sheppard, at their Bay Village, Ohio, home. He spent almost a decade in prison, mostly at the Ohio Penitentiary. At a retrial in 1966 he was acquitted of the same crime.

Raises an interesting question. Was the prosecution successful, only partially so, or not at all?

You get paid to go die in some third world shithole. Walmart parking lot, not so much.

Soooooo... there is no reason for anyone to get involved in any kind of domestic dispute unless it's life or death. THEY WILL TURN ON YOU after you save them, they always do.

So does that make you stop ? I would guess no, you will continue to do what needs to be done even with the knowledge that you will be shit upon again.
