Target practice babe.
This is pathetic of the deputy for arresting the victim!!! Her story she told him was correct. According to the deputy the table was overturned. She was apparently trying to avoid being abused by her husband and defending herself!!! This is why battered women are the ones punished!!! Shame on the deputy!!! I thought you are allowed by law to defend yourself if you feel you are in emanate danger and fear for your life.
Watch “The Burning Bed” deputy!!! Again shame on you!!!
