A work colleague went out with a nutter who used to scream and slap him every time they disagreed.
Why did he stay with her? I'm guessing that the make-up sex was pretty good.

He never hit her back, until they went on holiday at the other end of the country when they both got bladdered and she provoked him for about an hour until he snapped and slapped her back.

She immediately called the police and had him arrested. While he was in custody she drove home, leaving him to fare-dodge his way back. Took him about 14 hours.

He was on bail for a while, on condition that he couldn't contact her, although she constantly pestered him by phone and on Facebook. She even sent her mates round with messages. He was terrified of being arrested again.

When the case came up he had to go back to the resort for sentencing, having immediately admitted slapping her. He had amassed a huge pile of character references from various respectable people to present in court and was of previous good character so he was given a conditional discharge and walked free.

He still has a criminal record though, which will come up on a CRB check, and it might stop him getting a decent job in future. All because he wouldn't walk away from a nutter.

Don't worry
If he manages to pass the period of his conditional discharge, then he should have no conviction on his CRB check.

The conviction will be spent after 12 months if he doesn't re-offend
but spent convictions can still come up on an enhanced CRB check.

he could also have not hit her
he did hit her, didn't he?
but you're right, leaving her earlier sounds like the better option

Either that
or he could have hit her really hard and buried her in the woods.

"buried her in the woods", eh?
Is that some form of new fangled "necro-speak"?
