This record is held from search listings because it does not meet the site’s substance floor; the official text is linked below.
Holding The defendant failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that he was a victim of domestic violence at the time of the offense because there was no evidence that the abuse continued into his adulthood. Consequently, the lower court correctly denied the application for resentencing under the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act.
The court’s words
defendant failed to meet his burden of establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that he was "a victim of substantial abuse during the years leading up to the [offense]"
