Domestic violence: the order, the admission, and the denials
In October 2008 a domestic-violence master extended a protection order against him on a form finding that an act of domestic violence had occurred or that he represented a credible threat. At that hearing, the minutes record, he testified that the only time he laid hands on her was to stop her blocking him from leaving. The Supreme Court repeated that admission in a published 2013 opinion. In four filings between 2009 and 2014 he swore or wrote that he had never committed any act of domestic violence and that her application was a lie.
