http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/10/robert-vann-marshall-shot-killed-wife-after-leaving-jail_n_3573778.htmlRobert Vann Marshall, 34, allegedly broke an order of protection Saturday barring him from going anywhere near his wife. Earlier that day, he was thrown in the slammer and given the order because he allegedly threatened to kill his wife and children, WBIR reported.
snip
At 1:27 p.m., he was released from jail. At 1:38 p.m., officers received a call from Marshall's wife at their McMinn County home, during which she claimed her husband was forcing his way inside the home. Police said he was irate, suicidal and possibly armed.
"His wife called 911 and was telling our dispatchers that he was trying to break into the residence," McMinn County Sheriff Joe Guy told WRCB. "She retreated into the back bedroom, and at some point fired a shot and he was killed."
snip
Guy told reporters that an order of protection is "just a piece of paper," but said it's rare that the process ends in more violence.

I dunno...seems to me the violence has ended once and for all.

Is that the abuser is dead instead of his wife.

Glad she put an end to that shit; he clearly wasn't going to be stopped otherwise.

I'm glad she had a way to protect herself.

(1,799 posts)8. Exactly
And in this case, I totally believe it was self-defense and she shouldn't be charged.

(68,644 posts)3. In this instance, I'm glad that she was able to protect herself and can now truly live in peace.
I can't imagine anyone wanting to have left her helpless against her abusive former mate.

It wouldn't have if the dumbass hadn't come back to the house trying to kill her.
