    A counter argument to ‘State v. Black’ would of course be the case of ‘State v. Oliver.’ Yet, this case should not apply to my client nor should it have an effect on the outcome of his case.

Yes, both husbands did hit their significant others, but this argument is a weak one, as one husband (Richard Oliver) was far crueler, inflicted major physical damage and perhaps had ill intentions. “One of the witnesses swore he stuck as hard as he could.…
