No, this is not an April 1, joke. The courts are taking domestic violence very seriously. A woman assaulted by her ex- husband with a hammer has filed suit against his former employer claiming he got the hammer he used in the attack from his old workplace. He made threats to employees there that he intended to harm her. The woman suffered numerous contusions, cuts, and injuries to her head, neck, back and leg, a broken finger and vision abnormalities as a result of the attack. Her ex-husband pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was sentenced to a 19-year prison term. Source: Newstime.com March 26, 2009, Danbury CT.
The outcome of this lawsuit is yet to be decided. Whether you agree or disagree with the premise of who’s responsible for supplying the hammer, it does send another message to employers that domestic violence carried into the workplace will not be tolerated.
