Chapter 22 - RICHARD’S COUNTERSTORY
Richard resisted criminal liability more successfully at first.
He had not personally taken the keys.
He did not physically block me.
He did not threaten me.
He argued:
He froze.
He made a terrible parenting and marital decision.
Not a crime.
Prosecutors evaluated carefully.
Some conduct fit better in family/civil proceedings than criminal law.
A separate charge tied to assisting the restraint was considered but narrowed.
That frustrated people online once the story became public through court filings.
I stopped reading.

Law is not a comments section.
Richard’s biggest consequences came through family court, divorce, required evaluation, and restrictions rather than one dramatic prison sentence.
