Domestic Violence: Victim begs Prosecutors to give Abuser a second chance. He killed her in 6 months
Published: October 06, 2009
Domestic Violence victims frequently don’t show up at court hearings or they plead and beg that their attackers not be prosecuted.
Often this leads to the victims being murdered.
What makes women seek to have charges against men who beat them and abuse them dropped or dismissed?
SaQuanda Tamika Simon (center) was killed on September 9, 2009
Cedrick Salter killed SaQuanda in front of her kids
She wrote on the form,
“We do not have any past violent situations, he is a good father and provider, Cedrick is not perfect, he made a mistake and is very remorseful. He truly does have a good heart and deserves a second chance”.
How tragic. This is a copy of the form that Ms. Simon filled out to have the pending charges dropped against Cedrick Salter.
So how must the prosecutors handle future requests to drop pending cases of Domestic Violence?
