This man deserves prison for good. As a man myself, never lay hands on a woman violently under any circumstances. I pray that this woman gets better healing.
@@hazelmint6671Not even. If she has a weapon, yes. If she doesn’t and she’s trying to hit you, one push is all it takes and she’s on the group. Or hold her hands down or move away. Unless there is a weapon involved, never a reason to use all one’s force against a woman.
@@Jus4fun-mg5xgif she has a knife, I have the right to utilize physical violence as self defense Also, even if she’s using only her hands, if she’s strong, violence is necessary for self defense Not every women is physically weak
@@Oliver_Klozoff69 Did I not say if she has a weapon, yes? Yes as in use your hands. The average man is stronger than 97.5 of women. Women aren’t weak, men are simply stronger. It would be rare for you to have to come to that point of having to use physical violence. As I stated before, push, hold her arms down, or move away. You don’t want to do something you’ll regret especially if it’s unnecessary.
True but the first time is usually blown off as an "accident". People that are abusers become very proficient in the art of gaslighting - even more is that they are very good at picking their "target". Almost all of us endure somewhat abusive and exploitive relationships today so it shouldn't seem that strange to you that we can easily pass that tolerance mechanic into other abusive situations.
@BobaDavis true. What pathological covert abusers lack in genuine empathy, care, kindness, they compensate with expert skills in emotional and mental and physical manipulation.
@@MajICReiki I knew a guy in an abusive relationship with a woman and her "see what you made me do?" mechanic was Crying, he would always focus on that part, as if the verbal berating and hitting was irrelevant.
@BobaDavis a lot of people can be confused by actions like that, men and women who abuse absolutely mimic normal behaviors. Being able to genuinely distinguish when it is manipulative or sincere, requires a graduation in social and emotional IQ and not conflating the behaviors with overall intent. Bad people often don't see themselves as bad people. The Ego is evolved for self preservation which includes cognitive dissonance to incongruity in one's beliefs about themselves and their cognitive biases justifying even horrific actions. A sound ego is capable of self reflection with acknowledging and creating changes to behaviors. Unstable egos remain in delusions of biases, that keep them stuck as abuser, or enabler, or victim. That relational power structure defined as toxic codependency, is a con on the self. It can be really difficult to see the full dynamic when in it. The skilled believable lies of abusers keep their mark unsure about their true values vs spoken values that are fake. The smoke screen clears once the victim begins to clearly connect the lies and actions, and sees a way out, or the need to create a way towards freedom from being the hostage to a disingenuous harmful relationship. Getting out is then a product of circumstances and willpower, which can be a whole other level of risk to one's right to life. Being emotionally enslaved to an abusers sob stories is an internal struggle. Being physically enslaved financially, to physical threat to self, children, others, pets and property, is the external battle. Clear vision between another's words vs actions, can be as basic as seeing that their empty apologies are more influential/believable than the denial functioning in allowing repeated offenses, even though it is not a simple exercise in critical thinking.
he's a psychopath, he enjoys this, women be aware, someone who cooks you dinner one minute and pretends to be great in front of others, and then next minute beats you up or stresses you out over little things is not normal, stay away from people like that, highly toxic behavior
Be careful dating older men and moving in with them so fast too. Take years with the person and meet their community etc and wait until you experience them being mad atleast once before marrying them you will really see who plp are when they are angry

@arthurfoyt6727 actually you are. Realms of studies have been written on the psychology of abuse. However you would rather victim blame then to accept the science. disgusting thing to do but you probably hate women or something.
What is crazy is that the public defender saw everything. The photos. The videos. Everything and STILL feel in love with the guy. That is wild and clearly not mentally well enough to be a public defender.

She would have NEVER stood up to him on her own. He would have unalived her and gotten away with it. The thing that saved her was the teenagers calling the police.
Dan and the I-Team, great job on this story. I especially like the breakdown of the issues against the public defender. It made it easier to follow and understand. I hope they charge her. Brave of Jordana to share her story.
Soooo many people are watching this and will find strength to leave violence. This is a hard but amazing step forward. Much respect and love to the victim 😭❤️.
Men are victims too. These victims… Are not always victims….ive been assaulted by women and seen women assaulting men, the F around and they find out. These stories are to only discredit men. Never will you hear how evil woman can be. Women poisoning partners, pushing partners off of buildings. These stories one sided with the microscope only on one person is stealing the full story.

This public defender is so unprofessional she should be investigated for her unethical behavior. Possibly disbarred. Public defender office in SF is well known for their unethical behaviors well documented for decades. Former DA Chesa Boudin is a prime example of the “fine” products from SF public defender office. We need to defund or get rid of public defenders office
The one thing that the abuser uses that works the best, is feeling sorry for him. This public defender knows that , she's a manipulator, but it only takes a little bit, in a victim of DV, to get her guard down and feel sorry for her abuser. This woman tried to break her resolve to get away over and over. Then tried to manipulate the jury. She's gross.
This is another upsetting reason why so many perpetrators of DV go unpunished under the law and supports the statistics that only 2% of DV abusers ever get sentenced and or imprisoned for their crimes.
The victim's life is at risk the moment he gets out of jail. The public defender fell prey to his manipulation. The public defenders boss should be fired along with her .Both of them should be disbarred.
It's good that the police have body cameras to see what happened. Imagine walking into a situation where the victim was all bloody. Im glad that the teenage girl called police and saved her. He could have killed her. Thank You for sharing your story. Hopefully it gives courage for ppl to leave these types of situations.
Truth is that people need HELP to leave. It's not as easy as just finding "courage" as if it's some mind over matter thing. Usually, some sort of financial obstacle is often the biggest barrier. Or, perhaps these DV victims may have children which unfortunately ties them to the trash crap abuser often at least until the kid(s) are adults. Of course, how about people just don't go carelessly screwing around with trash crap like that guy in this video who is hopefully staying in jail! Too bad he wasn't caught sooner! It's as if the DV victim needs to have cameras on at all times to catch evidence.
I can’t even count how many times my ex was arrested for DV. I’m 5’4 120 pounds he was 6’5 279 pounds I had no chance. Every call was dismissed, every court case he was slapped on the wrist n told to do anger management classes which he never completed. The time before the last I told that cop if they didn’t keep him, the next time they came to my house they would find my body. Sure enough 4 days later he flips out over a corn dog (yes a corn dog) leaves, comes back 6 hours later smashed drunk. I was 38 weeks pregnant and after he started hitting me that night I tried to leave, all I really remember was calling 911 but he ripped the phone cord out the wall then took out his pocketknife and started stabbing me. I woke up 3 weeks later in ICU no longer pregnant with my jaw wired shut (he broke lots of bones in my face) stabbed me 17 times, slit my throat and was choking me when the cops busted the door down. That same cop was the one who arrested him and he only got 8 years for 2 counts of attempted murder, wire tapping, false imprisonment…the charges went on n on. Then, while he was in prison would make deals w inmates (his dad was rich n put tons of $ on his books) these inmates would find me, harass me, it went on n on n on. I finally had to leave my son with a relative in a different state, then I left to live in a different state w friends n family for 4 years. After I came back home and got my son his dad hired a PI to find me and the harassment started all over again. PD did nothing, the prison system did nothing, the only reason I’m still here is soon after he got out of prison he overdosed and died, but he would of been after me until the very end. It’s a nightmare. I’m glad she got out, I just hope she remains safe when he’s free. 😢

Kudos to these police who figured out what was happening, saw the scratches, looked for her behind the door and found her. It’s unreal how easily police don’t pay enough attention or the victim is guaranteed to get blamed instead of paid attention to.
Those teenage girls are literal heros. I had something similar happen to me about a decade ago and I called out for help when I saw a couple walking down the street. It was the middle of the day and they were pushing a baby stroller. My abuser wasn’t allowing me to leave my house and when he realized what I was doing he grabbed my hair and slammed my head into the window before dragging me back inside. This couple stood there watching me and did absolutely nothing; they didn’t even call the police to check on me. I eventually did send him to jail but he only got a sentence of a few months since there were no witnesses willing to come forward.
Thank God for that teenager!!!❤❤❤. And thank God honestly for the police who kept looking for her and were insistent on finding the truth!❤️. They all saved her life.💜
Raju is super inappropriate in his behavior, and this whole story is disturbing... we need an evaluation of our justice system here in SF or sure... Raju and Yanez probably needs to find different jobs that better suits their questionable morals.. As a long time resident of this city, I am deeply troubled by what I see here.. we have a chronic problem of not enough justice in this city, and I am getting a glimpse into the inadequacies of the oversight that can only be explained by many years of neglect and abuse.
I agree you have a point. But I hate it when an employer intrudes on someone's private life. My private life is mine alone. My supervisor once warned me about appearing in public with my girlfriend at the time, b/c his boss was very conservative, and moralistic, and the sight of us holding hands would be damaging to my career. It made my girlfriend mad. It made me feel I was being watched or followed. Employers documenting and restricting employees' private lives is very bad news.
May the victim continue to heal. Thanks to her for her courage in sharing her story. Smart of her to document, and so much pressure to have to deal with the public defender.
Thank you for being so brave and for sharing your story. I’m a victim of DV and I’m a guy. The physical part is just the tip of the iceberg. The emotional abuse goes on 100% of the time. Watching this was triggering but I owe it to her for being so brave. I wasn’t so brave myself. I actually went to the court case and helped to get her charges reduced. Her ex is one huge POS.
@@floriansailer7887you're demented for saying something so ignorant! Sounds like you have no idea how domestic violence works and the psychological impact the abuser has on the victim
@@floriansailer7887You should read into it, it really is crazy. The same reasons why you don't fight back and why you stay are the same reasons you process to grieve your abuser's misfortunes.
I am happy that reports like this are being shown. My heart stopped when I saw the footage of the abuse. People need to stop ignoring that this happens and report it.
First they fuck up your mind, then they fuck up your body. They use terror and love in a cycle meant to confuse you and make it very hard to see up from down. His excuses and pleadings always left me feeling bad for him, and i thought i owed him another chance. Until i finally ended up at a women's shelter. In group therapy, i listened to horrific stories of other women in their abusive relationships. One got choked against the wall, but just like me, she thought he deserved another chance. Her thinking was as messed up as mine, but it was so much clearer to me in her story than in my own, that it was crazy for her to go back. I slowly began to see that all of us women had the same story, we kept falling for their lie that they loved us. And we kept going back to the familiar, because it was better than the women's shelter or anywhere else, and we kept thinking he would change. We believed like a cult member believes. I finally committed to myself that no matter what he said or did, i was going to walk away, toward the dark scary road ahead. And i made it. And it really wasn't so scary after all. It was so much better!
And that’s what the government wants. They want to destroy the house hold, mislead men and women. You can take a class on sex ed but not on how to take care of a relationship. Think about that if you really care about the topic.
My husband had a horrendous childhood, hasn't seen his father since he was 15, when my husband left home. He's never hurt me, not one time. Never hit me, etc. I get tired of defense attorneys using that excuse. This pos is a grown man, not an 18 year old. Time to put that behind you.
My heart is racing watching this. i can’t stop crying for jordana, this is beyond fucked up, brutal, evil. jordana, if you’re reading through the comments i would like to tell you something. you are the one of strongest women i’ve ever seen and i can’t imagine being as strong as you were in this attack. sending you LOVE❤
I work as a victim advocate and if you're a domestic violence victim just know that you have right when it comes through defense attorneys (Marsy's rights) to refuse an interview, deposition, or discovery request by the defendant, the defendant’s attorney, or any other person acting on behalf of the defendant, and to set reasonable conditions on the conduct of any such interview to which the victim consents
@lp4ju Do you understand this sentence of “7 years to life”? I think 20 or 25 is the lowest number I’ve ever heard attached to the phrase “to life.” This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me & im wondering if it really just means that he’ll be out in 7.
@saraohara2504 it essentially means that 7 years is the minimum amount of time he'll serve before going to the parole. Parole would need to be approved for him to get out at 7 years if not then he stays in prison
Praise God that teenager called the police. That creature is a pure monster. And so is the public defender he had. The victim is brave for sharing her story. On average it takes 7 times of leaving before a victim leaves for good. There are so many obstacles, lack of money, can’t afford hosing, low self confidence caused by the abuser, etc. But still please leave and stay away, the struggles of leaving is better than being abused. Please also remember abuse is not only physical. There is verbal, emotional, psychological, sexual and financial abuse. There have been many cases of a man being abusive for many years, even decades but never using physical violence, until one day he did and it was fatal on his victim. Women you deserve better. You deserve love. You deserve safety.
Agreed, and ditto for men. Men should not have to put up with punches, insults, threats, blaming, public put downs, unending complaining, etc. Better to confront the witch and her behaviour, and leave or divorce early if there is no improvement. Because life is short.
This happened to me close to it I got bruises on my face and on my back bottom. I am in a relationship and have a son. She will find peace as long as he is in prison for life.
She will. I was abused with my first real adult relationship, very similar to her but I had hard things thrown at me like my face cream it gave me a black eye. Oh you wanna look pretty lol. I laugh now because he’s insane. But after his first touch I stopped respecting him internally and couldn’t and didn’t want to be sexual with him so it was easier for me to walk away(I made my own $ too thank god).. after a couple of punches I would hit back, then I couldn’t even stand looking at his face.. ugghhh.. and broke up and left… he chased me, went back for I don’t know a week and I couldn’t stand looking at him, he was repulsive to me.
I agree. There’s nothing sexist about making an observation of how inappropriate she was. You’re telling me she sobs like that for all her clients? Give me a break!
12:11 wow! That attorney should be disbarred, brought up on extortion charges and tampering with a witness! What a wretched woman! Email and call that DA! DEMAND JUSTICE!
I was just being a dv victim, and because my injury were minor, the only thing I got is the 5 years restraining against him. He wasn’t even charge for felony robbery either. He is sentenced with a misdemeanor probation.
This guy was actually threatened by her texting a guy WHEN SHE WAS 13. Dude there is no capacity for mature decisionmaking at 13 and there can be no legitimate relationship between a grown adult and a child. So he’s really telling on himself by assigning that level of sexual agency to a 13yo being preyed upon by a disgusting adult criminal. This shows how violence and a rapey mentality go hand in hand. I’m so glad she survived this prk.
I really don't think so I really, really don't. He woman that was abused. She was intelligent enough to know that she wouldn't even have wanted to have another relationship at that point I just think that the emotional. G dealings that they had to deal with. I mean, my gosh, it's just, it brings. It brings a bond of an emotional bond when you're in a healing situation like that, and in a case like this, the lawyer in the client you know, we're all human beings here. It's not uncommon for 2 people in any situation. To have their heart strings pulled. And here I mean, look at the state that the world is in. I meanit's already overwhelming. I mean, I don't know God help us all.

Are you suggesting that most age gap relationships are abusive? Or if not most, that abuse is statistically higher in them than in other relationships?
She had her way out when he told her to leave...she should have left and gone to her parent's home. When he told her to return upstairs I knew she was in trouble. He's a douchebag bully. My husband would abuse me but he could never fight back against a man...both my uncles and my father beat the crap out of him when they saw me with bruises (I told them), and not once did he throw a punch. He left the house and tried to return a year later by breaking into my apartment but SURPRISE I was with my boyfriend. He got beat by my boyfriend and I beat him with a bat...He never bothered me again. There were several reasons I did not leave 1. I thought if I treated him nicer he would change, 2. I thought if I were a better wife he would be a better husband...here's the problem narcissistic bullies DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU - they only care about themselves.
You were also in an abusive relationship where you stayed, why would you even say,” she had her way out when he told her to leave… she should have left and gone to her parents house.” I find that very judgmental when you yourself stayed in an abusive relationship when you also could have left and maybe did, but returned. She too I’m sure had reasons for staying, but it just felt like you were blaming her.
I knew a very wealthy woman who could not escape her violent Mafia husband. I asked her, if she was so wealthy, why didn't she get her own place? She said she's ben so brainwashed, she believes he will always find her, and possibly kill her. No one ever forgets abuse like this. It follows an abused person their whole life.
Public Defender is unbelievable. When he thre her clothes out the window, it was her opportunity to leave his sorry azz. Good that she was able to leave and now have a happy life.
Some will never know the trauma of fight or flight, being told to leave your apartment isn’t easy. It’s easy to say she could have left, but if you have never been in an abusive relationship you can’t say how someone should or shouldn’t respond. I thank her for sharing!
💯💯 plus a lot of times it's worse when you do leave in that context bc you'll get punished for it and likely found and forced to go back to way worse abuse
The actions of that public defender are despicable and disgusting, to say the least. Lets hope she doesnt ever feel the trauma of an abusive relationship/marriage.
Well done news report. I’m curious why no one in the victim’s apt bldg called 911, yet the screaming victim could be heard outside? I find it very strange that an attorney would sob in court; it’s not as if she had two years before trial to get to know him, and what educated woman would sob for a POS that batters the woman he (supposedly) loves? And obviously, you don’t have to pass the bar to know not to fraternize with jurors after the fact. I’m shocked the boss would even defend her behavior.
The worst part is when his friends laugh at us for being "triggered" or "ungrateful." My dad was like this. And there's a lot of long-term effects to it. They put in a lot of effort to keep someone from being their own person. And we're usually punished for expressing our own emotions. We're not allowed to cry. Even with all the pain and stress that happened.
Thank you for being brave enough to tell your story.. I am a survivor of domestic violence & abuse myself & did not have a good outcome with the courts because I didn’t have enough money for a good lawyer or get enough admissible evidence & part of me was filled with fear of him killing me or destroying my career, good name, & hurting my family & dropping my pets off the side of a road like he said. & I haven’t been able to get back on my feet going through intense C-PTSD from the physical abuse & suffocations & fear he instilled in me & he took EVERYTHING from me & continued to use the legal system to abuse me for 2 more years. I would LOVE to have just spoken my truth from the beginning & stood up for myself & had him face the consequences of his actions but he made me believe that no one would believe me & that he had more money & connections in our career field that he could destroy me & then he’d show me he could take me to the brink of death again & again & he had full control. But I also loved him & he’d shift in & out of these modes like he was possessed & other times he was loving & kind & all the things you could want in a partner & it all just keeps you spinning around in a tornado of his making & you’d see in the center was a black hole of a person who had no empathy, love, & at times humanity but you’d only see that for a second before he spit you back out into the chaos. Sometimes he’d play the role of storm shelter & make you feel safe & cared for before he’d maniacally laugh &swing the doors open to be sucked right back up. But since he was the only one providing safety at alllll, you begin to be forced to rely on him for your only moments of relief from the situation.. I truly hope you continue to grow, heal, & thrive & eventually that monster will hold no power over you. Hopefully justice & speaking the truth has begun that process & I hope one day I can get justice & get my voice back as well. I just hope we can find a way to stop this from happening FOREVER. & I think with technology watching us going forward, we will have safety in that because only those who can hide can be evil. Exposure is their worst fear. & YOU MADE HIM FACE HIMSELF.. I am sooo inspired & have hope that the more people like you can be unashamed of being abused the more people will begin to understand. & screw people who tell us “why didn’t we leave?” Cause in leaving you are 10x more likely to die, cause they do everything they can to force you to be dependent on them like being involved with work with them, cause they threaten everything they know they can in your life & that they have shown you they can follow through with those threats, because usually you have a sick kind of love there still because they are soooooooo goooooood at manipulation & also truthfully they suffer sooooo deeply it’s unreal but empathy means weakness to them so it’s better not to go there but it’s hard as a good person not to have it or believe love can change a person who can not accept any of it, & because usually they have money/financial holds over their victims & power that goes beyond the physical to actually hurt your life with. They also looooveee to isolate you from your family & friends & make you lie for them & distrust your mind & the world. It’s like being in a Cult of 2 & the cult leader started off nice & one day you wake up & there’s a gun to your head & they are taking ANYTHING THEY WANT & you have to agree to SURVIVE. But your mind plays tricks on you also to survive because if it didn’t you’d probably had killed yourself being that TRAPPED. But WE DID SURVIVE & it’s BEAUTIFUL to see someone trying to help the rest of women still out there feel seen & heard & have something to hope for.. Thank you. Thank you sooooo sooo much.

@@hazelmint6671Not even. If she has a weapon, yes. If she doesn’t and she’s trying to hit you, one push is all it takes and she’s on the group. Or hold her hands down or move away. Unless there is a weapon involved, never a reason to use all one’s force against a woman.
@@Jus4fun-mg5xgif she has a knife, I have the right to utilize physical violence as self defense
Also, even if she’s using only her hands, if she’s strong, violence is necessary for self defense
Not every women is physically weak
@@Oliver_Klozoff69 Did I not say if she has a weapon, yes? Yes as in use your hands. The average man is stronger than 97.5 of women. Women aren’t weak, men are simply stronger. It would be rare for you to have to come to that point of having to use physical violence. As I stated before, push, hold her arms down, or move away. You don’t want to do something you’ll regret especially if it’s unnecessary.
she took this abuse for a year. if a man abuses you only one time, you need to walk away because it will always continue until he takes your life.
True but the first time is usually blown off as an "accident". People that are abusers become very proficient in the art of gaslighting - even more is that they are very good at picking their "target". Almost all of us endure somewhat abusive and exploitive relationships today so it shouldn't seem that strange to you that we can easily pass that tolerance mechanic into other abusive situations.
@BobaDavis true. What pathological covert abusers lack in genuine empathy, care, kindness, they compensate with expert skills in emotional and mental and physical manipulation.
@@MajICReiki I knew a guy in an abusive relationship with a woman and her "see what you made me do?" mechanic was Crying, he would always focus on that part, as if the verbal berating and hitting was irrelevant.
@BobaDavis a lot of people can be confused by actions like that, men and women who abuse absolutely mimic normal behaviors. Being able to genuinely distinguish when it is manipulative or sincere, requires a graduation in social and emotional IQ and not conflating the behaviors with overall intent. Bad people often don't see themselves as bad people. The Ego is evolved for self preservation which includes cognitive dissonance to incongruity in one's beliefs about themselves and their cognitive biases justifying even horrific actions. A sound ego is capable of self reflection with acknowledging and creating changes to behaviors. Unstable egos remain in delusions of biases, that keep them stuck as abuser, or enabler, or victim. That relational power structure defined as toxic codependency, is a con on the self.
It can be really difficult to see the full dynamic when in it. The skilled believable lies of abusers keep their mark unsure about their true values vs spoken values that are fake. The smoke screen clears once the victim begins to clearly connect the lies and actions, and sees a way out, or the need to create a way towards freedom from being the hostage to a disingenuous harmful relationship. Getting out is then a product of circumstances and willpower, which can be a whole other level of risk to one's right to life.
Being emotionally enslaved to an abusers sob stories is an internal struggle. Being physically enslaved financially, to physical threat to self, children, others, pets and property, is the external battle.
Clear vision between another's words vs actions, can be as basic as seeing that their empty apologies are more influential/believable than the denial functioning in allowing repeated offenses, even though it is not a simple exercise in critical thinking.
Why do they take this crap???I do not understand why they stay after the first altercation.
he's a psychopath, he enjoys this, women be aware, someone who cooks you dinner one minute and pretends to be great in front of others, and then next minute beats you up or stresses you out over little things is not normal, stay away from people like that, highly toxic behavior

My heart goes out to the victim. It is appalling what she had to endure especially from the public defender.
Then she talks about him being a pos drunk that beat her , she was voluntarily staying with her possible killer, i see what her dad did there, he did the ultimate insult my making him the mockery of the night by telling that she had been caught when she was a teen talking to an older man, he basically told him "you're not the 1st old dude she has been interested in", since didn't wanted to leave him her dad figure that by exposing her in front of everyone would do the trick and it did work, almost cost her life, I wouldn't ever humiliate & trigger a man that way, that's insanely dangerous, but I reckon her dad didn't saw any other way.

This public defender is so unprofessional she should be investigated for her unethical behavior. Possibly disbarred. Public defender office in SF is well known for their unethical behaviors well documented for decades. Former DA Chesa Boudin is a prime example of the “fine” products from SF public defender office. We need to defund or get rid of public defenders office
The one thing that the abuser uses that works the best, is feeling sorry for him. This public defender knows that , she's a manipulator, but it only takes a little bit, in a victim of DV, to get her guard down and feel sorry for her abuser. This woman tried to break her resolve to get away over and over. Then tried to manipulate the jury. She's gross.
I will do further research on Chesa Boudin. Thank you!
This is another upsetting reason why so many perpetrators of DV go unpunished under the law and supports the statistics that only 2% of DV abusers ever get sentenced and or imprisoned for their crimes.
The victim's life is at risk the moment he gets out of jail. The public defender fell prey to his manipulation. The public defenders boss should be fired along with her .Both of them should be disbarred.
@@Wmuthonil
It's good that the police have body cameras to see what happened. Imagine walking into a situation where the victim was all bloody. Im glad that the teenage girl called police and saved her. He could have killed her. Thank You for sharing your story. Hopefully it gives courage for ppl to leave these types of situations.
Truth is that people need HELP to leave. It's not as easy as just finding "courage" as if it's some mind over matter thing. Usually, some sort of financial obstacle is often the biggest barrier. Or, perhaps these DV victims may have children which unfortunately ties them to the trash crap abuser often at least until the kid(s) are adults. Of course, how about people just don't go carelessly screwing around with trash crap like that guy in this video who is hopefully staying in jail! Too bad he wasn't caught sooner! It's as if the DV victim needs to have cameras on at all times to catch evidence.
I can’t even count how many times my ex was arrested for DV. I’m 5’4 120 pounds he was 6’5 279 pounds I had no chance. Every call was dismissed, every court case he was slapped on the wrist n told to do anger management classes which he never completed. The time before the last I told that cop if they didn’t keep him, the next time they came to my house they would find my body. Sure enough 4 days later he flips out over a corn dog (yes a corn dog) leaves, comes back 6 hours later smashed drunk. I was 38 weeks pregnant and after he started hitting me that night I tried to leave, all I really remember was calling 911 but he ripped the phone cord out the wall then took out his pocketknife and started stabbing me.
I woke up 3 weeks later in ICU no longer pregnant with my jaw wired shut (he broke lots of bones in my face) stabbed me 17 times, slit my throat and was choking me when the cops busted the door down.
That same cop was the one who arrested him and he only got 8 years for 2 counts of attempted murder, wire tapping, false imprisonment…the charges went on n on. Then, while he was in prison would make deals w inmates (his dad was rich n put tons of $ on his books) these inmates would find me, harass me, it went on n on n on.
I finally had to leave my son with a relative in a different state, then I left to live in a different state w friends n family for 4 years. After I came back home and got my son his dad hired a PI to find me and the harassment started all over again. PD did nothing, the prison system did nothing, the only reason I’m still here is soon after he got out of prison he overdosed and died, but he would of been after me until the very end. It’s a nightmare. I’m glad she got out, I just hope she remains safe when he’s free. 😢
Wow. Amazing what we endure
I’m happy you’re still here and glad life got him back in the end. Stay safe.❤

Yepp. Domestic violence is the most dangerous calls. The most cause of deaths for cops 😢
Those teenage girls are literal heros. I had something similar happen to me about a decade ago and I called out for help when I saw a couple walking down the street. It was the middle of the day and they were pushing a baby stroller. My abuser wasn’t allowing me to leave my house and when he realized what I was doing he grabbed my hair and slammed my head into the window before dragging me back inside. This couple stood there watching me and did absolutely nothing; they didn’t even call the police to check on me. I eventually did send him to jail but he only got a sentence of a few months since there were no witnesses willing to come forward.
I’m so proud of her for telling her story. Wow.

As a long time resident of this city, I am deeply troubled by what I see here.. we have a chronic problem of not enough justice in this city, and I am getting a glimpse into the inadequacies of the oversight that can only be explained by many years of neglect and abuse.
I agree you have a point. But I hate it when an employer intrudes on someone's private life. My private life is mine alone.
My supervisor once warned me about appearing in public with my girlfriend at the time, b/c his boss was very conservative, and moralistic, and the sight of us holding hands would be damaging to my career. It made my girlfriend mad. It made me feel I was being watched or followed. Employers documenting and restricting employees' private lives is very bad news.
That’s so scary that she was willing to hide when police came and also said nothing about the events that transpired. :(
She didn't hide on her own will. She was told to hide by her abuser. She was in fear of her abuser that she did what he said.

Thank you for being so brave and for sharing your story. I’m a victim of DV and I’m a guy. The physical part is just the tip of the iceberg. The emotional abuse goes on 100% of the time.

First they fuck up your mind, then they fuck up your body.
They use terror and love in a cycle meant to confuse you and make it very hard to see up from down.
His excuses and pleadings always left me feeling bad for him, and i thought i owed him another chance. Until i finally ended up at a women's shelter. In group therapy, i listened to horrific stories of other women in their abusive relationships. One got choked against the wall, but just like me, she thought he deserved another chance. Her thinking was as messed up as mine, but it was so much clearer to me in her story than in my own, that it was crazy for her to go back.
I slowly began to see that all of us women had the same story, we kept falling for their lie that they loved us.
And we kept going back to the familiar, because it was better than the women's shelter or anywhere else, and we kept thinking he would change. We believed like a cult member believes.
I finally committed to myself that no matter what he said or did, i was going to walk away, toward the dark scary road ahead. And i made it. And it really wasn't so scary after all. It was so much better!
And that’s what the government wants. They want to destroy the house hold, mislead men and women. You can take a class on sex ed but not on how to take care of a relationship. Think about that if you really care about the topic.

I work as a victim advocate and if you're a domestic violence victim just know that you have right when it comes through defense attorneys (Marsy's rights) to refuse an interview, deposition, or discovery request by the defendant, the defendant’s attorney, or any other person acting on behalf of the defendant, and to set reasonable conditions on the conduct of any such interview to which the victim consents
@lp4ju Do you understand this sentence of “7 years to life”? I think 20 or 25 is the lowest number I’ve ever heard attached to the phrase “to life.” This doesn’t make a lot of sense to me & im wondering if it really just means that he’ll be out in 7.
@saraohara2504 it essentially means that 7 years is the minimum amount of time he'll serve before going to the parole. Parole would need to be approved for him to get out at 7 years if not then he stays in prison

That creature is a pure monster. And so is the public defender he had.
The victim is brave for sharing her story.
On average it takes 7 times of leaving before a victim leaves for good. There are so many obstacles, lack of money, can’t afford hosing, low self confidence caused by the abuser, etc. But still please leave and stay away, the struggles of leaving is better than being abused.
Please also remember abuse is not only physical. There is verbal, emotional, psychological, sexual and financial abuse. There have been many cases of a man being abusive for many years, even decades but never using physical violence, until one day he did and it was fatal on his victim. Women you deserve better. You deserve love. You deserve safety.
God didn't do a damn thing.
Your god also created the monster that abused this beautiful lady. Nice god you have there.

She will. I was abused with my first real adult relationship, very similar to her but I had hard things thrown at me like my face cream it gave me a black eye. Oh you wanna look pretty lol. I laugh now because he’s insane. But after his first touch I stopped respecting him internally and couldn’t and didn’t want to be sexual with him so it was easier for me to walk away(I made my own $ too thank god).. after a couple of punches I would hit back, then I couldn’t even stand looking at his face.. ugghhh.. and broke up and left… he chased me, went back for I don’t know a week and I couldn’t stand looking at him, he was repulsive to me.

This guy was actually threatened by her texting a guy WHEN SHE WAS 13. Dude there is no capacity for mature decisionmaking at 13 and there can be no legitimate relationship between a grown adult and a child. So he’s really telling on himself by assigning that level of sexual agency to a 13yo being preyed upon by a disgusting adult criminal. This shows how violence and a rapey mentality go hand in hand.

This woman is SO lucky to be alive, y'all. For real. Prayers for healing and strength and prayers she is never in a DV relationship ever again.
My sister was killed, you're lucky you made it out alive
Oh my god…. I’m so sorry to hear that, sending you love
@@jordanacahen8972wishing you well ❤️
So very sorry about your sis ter😢...❤
@@thatisabsolutelykooooge2211 thank you ❤
ABC7 I-Team did a great job on this investigation. SF public defenders office lacks transparency and is a hot mess.
I commend her because even to this day, even though I got out of mine I haven't been able to take him to court and get him charged. She is definitely strong. God bless her
🚩Yanez bought Juror drinks at the bar & told them because of their verdict he'd be looking at life sentence & got them to write letters to go easy on him afterwards ⁉️& Then Yanez cried in court to the point where she couldn't hardly speak clearly ⁉️ how is that professional ⁉️
If any of that is true - except for the sobbing - It's clearly unprofessional - but nothing new for her.
Exactly disgusting and unprofessional. He might have slept with her, or he charmed her socks off.???!!!
Another reason age gap relationship is a red flag.
Well said
Was abt to say the same.
Are you suggesting that most age gap relationships are abusive? Or if not most, that abuse is statistically higher in them than in other relationships?
It’s safe to say the lawyer had sex with her client and was given a night she never forgot that’s why she was acting a fool
That’s the only thing that makes sense lol
For real. She was crying that hard because she was mourning at the thought of not being able to experience that again.
Right?! She was the one that was obsessed and kept going back for more, I can't believe she said that about the victim. She seemed jealous of her
What a brave young lady. All the best to her to heal physically and emotionally. We need to FIRE this public defender!!
That teenage girl is a hero. An angel sent for that woman
Bless the girls for helping lady
She had her way out when he told her to leave...she should have left and gone to her parent's home. When he told her to return upstairs I knew she was in trouble. He's a douchebag bully. My husband would abuse me but he could never fight back against a man...both my uncles and my father beat the crap out of him when they saw me with bruises (I told them), and not once did he throw a punch. He left the house and tried to return a year later by breaking into my apartment but SURPRISE I was with my boyfriend. He got beat by my boyfriend and I beat him with a bat...He never bothered me again. There were several reasons I did not leave 1. I thought if I treated him nicer he would change, 2. I thought if I were a better wife he would be a better husband...here's the problem narcissistic bullies DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU - they only care about themselves.
You were also in an abusive relationship where you stayed, why would you even say,” she had her way out when he told her to leave… she should have left and gone to her parents house.” I find that very judgmental when you yourself stayed in an abusive relationship when you also could have left and maybe did, but returned. She too I’m sure had reasons for staying, but it just felt like you were blaming her.

Yeah I sense that too
I knew a very wealthy woman who could not escape her violent Mafia husband. I asked her, if she was so wealthy, why didn't she get her own place? She said she's ben so brainwashed, she believes he will always find her, and possibly kill her. No one ever forgets abuse like this. It follows an abused person their whole life.
Public defender practically said she was asking for it. You know you are shit at your job when you need to take such low blows
Public Defender is unbelievable. When he thre her clothes out the window, it was her opportunity to leave his sorry azz. Good that she was able to leave and now have a happy life.
Some will never know the trauma of fight or flight, being told to leave your apartment isn’t easy. It’s easy to say she could have left, but if you have never been in an abusive relationship you can’t say how someone should or shouldn’t respond. I thank her for sharing!
I second this. The fear that I had was having to sleep on the street.
Not everyone has friends or family to turn to.
💯💯 plus a lot of times it's worse when you do leave in that context bc you'll get punished for it and likely found and forced to go back to way worse abuse
Glad this is being aired!! Get justice! And I’m glad the ethics are being brought up!
The actions of that public defender are despicable and disgusting, to say the least. Lets hope she doesnt ever feel the trauma of an abusive relationship/marriage.
Well done news report. I’m curious why no one in the victim’s apt bldg called 911, yet the screaming victim could be heard outside? I find it very strange that an attorney would sob in court; it’s not as if she had two years before trial to get to know him, and what educated woman would sob for a POS that batters the woman he (supposedly) loves? And obviously, you don’t have to pass the bar to know not to fraternize with jurors after the fact. I’m shocked the boss would even defend her behavior.
Sounds like the public defender had a HUGE crush on Antonio.
So glad this strong woman survived. Those teenagers really saved her. Please disbar Yanez. She's disgusting and unethical. Raju is just as bad.
The real victim is the cat. The cat is innocent. The cat should be adopted by a loving family.
thank you for reporting on this. it's horrific. I pray he never gets out of prison.
Brooke Jenkins thank you for protecting domestic violence survivors
Yea that dude needs to rot in prison
That public defender has serious issues to work on and needs to lose her job. Terrifying.
The worst part is when his friends laugh at us for being "triggered" or "ungrateful."
My dad was like this. And there's a lot of long-term effects to it. They put in a lot of effort to keep someone from being their own person.
And we're usually punished for expressing our own emotions. We're not allowed to cry. Even with all the pain and stress that happened.
Thank you for being brave enough to tell your story.. I am a survivor of domestic violence & abuse myself & did not have a good outcome with the courts because I didn’t have enough money for a good lawyer or get enough admissible evidence & part of me was filled with fear of him killing me or destroying my career, good name, & hurting my family & dropping my pets off the side of a road like he said. & I haven’t been able to get back on my feet going through intense C-PTSD from the physical abuse & suffocations & fear he instilled in me & he took EVERYTHING from me & continued to use the legal system to abuse me for 2 more years. I would LOVE to have just spoken my truth from the beginning & stood up for myself & had him face the consequences of his actions but he made me believe that no one would believe me & that he had more money & connections in our career field that he could destroy me & then he’d show me he could take me to the brink of death again & again & he had full control. But I also loved him & he’d shift in & out of these modes like he was possessed & other times he was loving & kind & all the things you could want in a partner & it all just keeps you spinning around in a tornado of his making & you’d see in the center was a black hole of a person who had no empathy, love, & at times humanity but you’d only see that for a second before he spit you back out into the chaos. Sometimes he’d play the role of storm shelter & make you feel safe & cared for before he’d maniacally laugh &swing the doors open to be sucked right back up. But since he was the only one providing safety at alllll, you begin to be forced to rely on him for your only moments of relief from the situation..
I truly hope you continue to grow, heal, & thrive & eventually that monster will hold no power over you. Hopefully justice & speaking the truth has begun that process & I hope one day I can get justice & get my voice back as well. I just hope we can find a way to stop this from happening FOREVER. & I think with technology watching us going forward, we will have safety in that because only those who can hide can be evil. Exposure is their worst fear. & YOU MADE HIM FACE HIMSELF.. I am sooo inspired & have hope that the more people like you can be unashamed of being abused the more people will begin to understand.
& screw people who tell us “why didn’t we leave?” Cause in leaving you are 10x more likely to die, cause they do everything they can to force you to be dependent on them like being involved with work with them, cause they threaten everything they know they can in your life & that they have shown you they can follow through with those threats, because usually you have a sick kind of love there still because they are soooooooo goooooood at manipulation & also truthfully they suffer sooooo deeply it’s unreal but empathy means weakness to them so it’s better not to go there but it’s hard as a good person not to have it or believe love can change a person who can not accept any of it, & because usually they have money/financial holds over their victims & power that goes beyond the physical to actually hurt your life with. They also looooveee to isolate you from your family & friends & make you lie for them & distrust your mind & the world. It’s like being in a Cult of 2 & the cult leader started off nice & one day you wake up & there’s a gun to your head & they are taking ANYTHING THEY WANT & you have to agree to SURVIVE. But your mind plays tricks on you also to survive because if it didn’t you’d probably had killed yourself being that TRAPPED. But WE DID SURVIVE & it’s BEAUTIFUL to see someone trying to help the rest of women still out there feel seen & heard & have something to hope for..
Thank you. Thank you sooooo sooo much.
Sounds like the monster had Yanez u der his spell...🫤
She deserves better she deserves to be treated like a queen
The attorneys turning it around on her......UNBELIEVABLE SMH
