Erythema Nodosum? Suspected Illness Decides to Drop-In on Life

I wake up one day in my bed wondering randomly, “Okay what is today going to have in store for me?” Instinctively, I must have just known something was wrong. It was a Thursday.    I was in my backyard cleaning up pine, branches, trimmed up the lilacs and raked the yard. Like any other day I do any yard work, I took my allergy medicine.    I was okay with the exception of the regular hot shower needed afterword. Friday progressed as any other day but I started to feel achy, more than normal.    Maybe it was the cold from Autumn setting in.     Who knows?!    Get some rest and maybe Saturday will be better. When my days turned excruciating began when standing on my feet.    When a person lives daily with extreme amounts of pain, pain really doesn’t have very many levels of severity anymore.    But oh my knees. They just hurt but I just figured maybe because of the cold. Picture for effect “erythem...

A crime didn't happen because it wasn't prosecuted?

Are you aware that bases across the U.S.A. are under the impression that they can deny a crime ever happened if they choose to not prosecute a service member?

Are you aware that a victim is not notified if their offending spouse is issued a Letter of Reprimand for spousal maltreatment or child abuse instead of being placed under Court Martial?

Are you aware that if a base command issues a Letter of Reprimand, they can legally say "a crime has not been committed because they weren't prosecuted" and legally you would be none the wiser to get a Federal Civil Litigation subpoena to force production of what punishment, if any, was given?

The reality is this:  Crimes like Domestic Violence are most often NOT prosecuted because it is easier to deny it didn't happen.

If the base never gives over copies of reports due to privacy rights issues declared, they will say "PROVE IT"?  Don't believe me?  Just ask any victim spouse how many times they were told they wouldn't be given documentation of any kind...

  1. One such case from San Diego, was actually brought up in another court case in November of 2017. The abuser was even so bold as to show three instances of being arrested but never convicted. He actually held up the evidence of arrest and proclaimed very proudly that he had been arrested and never convicted, which somehow he believed would make his latest domestic violence incident somehow not legitimate. Unfortunately for him, he was no longer in the military and the Judge was much less motivated to simply let him go without consequence.

    1. The story you share is sadly not uncommon for military spouses or ex-spouses to endure. It is however very uncommon that a judge, if not unheard of, actually went after a service member (or former service member) for such a bold act. I often witness the silver bullet become easily successful, especially in San Diego courts, where a previous judge has actually come forward stating that she was selectively removed for not approving enough DV orders. That judge there wanted true justice to stand firm in ALL cases and to afford all parties equal stance in court when it came to safety issues. While each situation is unique, I suppose what would concern me most is how much of the ex's past is actually documented in the military jacket held by the station base and maybe they chose the option of just asking him to not request to re-up. Stay strong. Good judges are hard to find! Thank you for sharing.
