Clearly, and here goes your tired point. SHE TOOK THE CHECK!
Which i honestly said, is on her, pages and pages ago.
It's done with this situation clearly, this woman made a poor choice. It's sad, because clearly Hardy is violent towards females, and most likely another woman will face what this woman faced.
But please learn a bit about DV, honestly, do yourself a favor. You`ll see this is very common, very often the abused individual will drop charges, take that person back etc. I worked with a woman helping her get away from a man he almost killed her, got her into a woman's shelter, set her up with the justice center and so on and so forth.
He went back to her and he almost killed her again. These women who are on the other end of this, it's not as easy to leave as you may think. Usually this women have severe mental health issues themselves, usually trauma survivors and people who have been abused the majority of their lives.
