WELCOME, FRIEND! This blog records my struggles with leaving an abusive spouse. After 17 years of insidious violence, I divorced my abuser. It wasn't easy; but it was worth it. I've recorded my experiences navigating the military and civilian court systems in the hopes someone can benefit and avoid my mistakes. Good Luck. I understand.
PB&J
In the area where one of the last offenses occurred, there are more verdicts than simply "guilty" or "not guilty." There is also "probation before judgement," or PBJ. A defendant can resolve his trial without receiving a conviction. PBJ is usually reserved for first time offenders. The criminial admits he's guilty or kinda guilty and is placed on probation without supervision. Upon successfull completion of probation, the criminal will not have a conviction on record. I'm not entirely certain how the military views a PBJ. We shall see....
But Girlfriends, chalk this up as a win for the Good Guys. Karma, you are beautiful.
Update: A PBJ is about as useful as a sandwich. He has since "shielded" all of his DV charges and passes a background check with flying colors. He has never and probably will never answer for any of the damage he has done. Teflon Douchebag is he.
