Yes. I partially agree with my friend. The only thing I would add to that is that if there has been a trial with a negative trial outcome, I would think that this is innocent until proven guilty. However, I do agree with my friend Ms. Neufeld completely that the majority of domestic violence cases do not even go as far as calling the police or going to trial. In the absence of a trial and a verdict, I would say that these other types of evidence, they're available, but the problem is that unless the woman has an experienced counsel, she's going to have a very difficult time thinking of what to put forward in support of her case.
I think that the guidelines definitely need to be more publicized, and women need to know, even if they don't have a lawyer, what they could possibly present in terms of evidence to be able to prove that kind of a claim.
