I dont know whether I am able/willing to represent a man who beats up his wife.
Seriously.
I know I should not let my emotions or principles get the better of me because after all, I am a professional. (and should act/think like one! haha)
But really, how can you represent someone who beats up his wife!!! So angry! Want to curse also feel bad.
Abuser of trust! Abuser of position! She is so much tinier than you, weaker than you.
I'd always thought that everyone deserves a chance to be represented, to be heard at court no matter what.
And as a barrister, you do not play the role as a judge, but you advocate on their behalf. Yes, because no matter what they still deserve to be defended for their actions. But honestly, it's so hard sometimes to draw the line between representing that person and judging them for their actions.
If you are truly remorseful, that'll make things easier. But what if he denies his actions even though the evidence against him is so strong??!
The sad thing is that they were both in love before and they'd thought the world of one another. Sigh. You tell each other: Voues Et Nul Autre
Life! This is so scary. Im sure she'd never imagined that the man she loved would hurt her that way.
Sometimes just when you thought that you picked the right man; you'd never in your right mind imagined that that will happen to you, and when it does, your whole world just comes crumbling down. You'd keep telling yourself, 'He knows he's wrong and you're sure that that'll be the last time he'll hurt you' You give excuses for him. And one day, BANG - that's the last straw when he seriously abuses you e.g. kicking you on the floor!!
That's why, all the ladies out there should be independent, get your own jobs and be able to feed yourselves so that in the event that he leaves you, you'll still be able to survive on your own.
Domestic violence should not be tolerated.
Just imagine : Crime in your home, under your own roof, by the person you loved.
You just ruined her life.
Why did you do that?
How could you have the heart to hurt her?
