What are your initial thoughts?
**Dr. Carter:** This is a classic example of the complexities and emotional turmoil often involved in domestic abuse cases.

While his previous conviction raises concerns, it’s vital to treat each situation individually. The focus must remain on the specific allegations and evidence presented in this current case.
