Comments on: Judges raise concerns about ‘Amanda’s Bill’ http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2010/02/04/judges-raise-concerns-about-amandas-bill/ Covering Kentucky politics and government Mon, 21 May 2012 07:56:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Bleu http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2010/02/04/judges-raise-concerns-about-amandas-bill/comment-page-1/#comment-32581 Bleu Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:36:41 +0000 http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/?p=10108#comment-32581 It isn't just innocent men who are at risk with this bill. There have been instances where politically connected men filed EPO's just to get custody of their kids so they don't have to pay child support. I feel terrible for Amanda's family. However, if Amanda had been poor without any political connections- she would not have been able to get an EPO/DVO at all against Nunn. This is the honest truth. Until either AOC or the legislature does something about the lawlessness taking place in certain courts- especially those in Pike and Floyd County- this abuse of the legal process will continue against women.

YES. Miscarriages of justice will occur all too often under Stumbo’s political ploy.

Stumbo held a political rally at a funeral home, and touted legislation, solely to seek votes. Just and meaningful legislation to prevent domestic violence was not on the menu. Stumbo, his cronies, and the media refused to address in a candid, unbiased way the many unjust and unfair aspects in his proposed legislation. It wouldn’t be politically correct to do so, but it would be morally right. If this bill becomes law, could a woman seeking to punish a man for nothing related to domestic violence, go before a Family Court Judge, and allege, with no evidence, that the man is “one of the most dangerous”, and result in an innocent man suffering this horrific punishment? YES. Miscarriages of justice will occur all too often under Stumbo’s political ploy. Finally someone has the courage to ask questions, but I fear that politics will be put before justice.

But it was also a tragedy that her family and friends did nothing to intervene when a very young girl started dating a man as old as her own father. This was sick in itself.

Why would anyone give more power to these courts when there are gross injustices taking place there already without AOC doing anything to certain out of control family judges??

Think about it Mr. Emmons as someone could falsely accuse you. That is what is questionable about this bill, not to mention it is all about Amanda Ross and not the others that have died.
