ReallyScared Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Please don't judge me before hearing me out. I found out that my girlfriend of five years cheated on me because I overheard her on the telephone. When she got off the phone, I confronted her on it and she started yelling and throwing stuff at me. I didn't understand it because I always treated her kindly and with respect. She started punching me in the face, and she ran to my room and grabbed my pistol. She pointed it at me and pulled the trigger, but she didn't know that it wasn't loaded. The clip was in there, but it was empty. I felt that it was getting to the point that she was threatening my life, so I punched her in the face once. The punch fractured her orbital bone and she lost feeling in a portion of her face and has some double-vision. Right now, I'm facing jail time and I feel that this is just unfair. What I'm scared about is that the court is not going to believe me over her. If any of you can get anything out of this, is that cheating destroys lives. Don't do it.

Have you tuched the pistol yet and if so have you cleened it yet? That is going to be your best defance. Dont cleen the pistol....... Give it to the police. Well I hope this helps.

PurpleAngel Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 At the end of the day it is your word against her so there is not reason they would believe you over her or her over you. Just try to keep the faith. I understand that she threatened your life and I am sure in self-defense anyone would have done what he or she had to, to gain control of the situation but two wrongs don’t make a right. It is amazing she had such a STRONG reaction without any provocation. You say you just confronted her about it? This might be a question that may come up. If you did say something to provoke her, you should be honest and fess up to it. Where you verbally abusive in anyway? Did you say anything that may have made her feel threatened her herself? Analyze the night, and the exact conversation. The truth is the only thing that will help you. Please stay strong and believe that everything will work out. What goes around comes around. Even if she should not get into trouble and you do, please don’t even think of getting revenge. Every man has his day! Good Luck ~PurpleAngel~ Link to post Share on other sites
Tony T Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Insist investigators give you a lie detector test. That should show them, at least, that you are telling the truth. If you have a good attorney, he or she will be able to break her down on the witness stand until she fesses up with the truth. No matter where you end up, thank God you're alive and that you are rid of this sleezebag. She's lower than trash. Cheating does destroy lives but it happens everyday. Nothing's going to stop it. It's really sad. People are human. They do stuff like that. And they get defensive and pissed off when found out. Next time you overhear a conversation like that, just leave. What's the point in having somebody try to murder you? Link to post Share on other sites
wideawake Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Not a flame, but next time make sure your handgun is locked up in a safety box as well. Link to post Share on other sites
