Defending a Child Abuser

I can't believe that there are people who are defending my abusive father. Here is a comment that was published in the City Pages.

“In Jennifer’s recent post in City Page’s blog, she now claims her father testified he broke Holly’s nose ‘3 times’. This is also entirely false.”

How can anyone say this? My father testified under oath to this himself. We have the court transcripts!

Broken Nose:

Court Transcripts: June 7 1989
Mark Collins: “The two broken noses occurred when we were first married in my parents’ house, which was an accident, which many people roll about. I rolled over asleep in bed…

Court transcripts: January 8 1991
Mark Collins:
“Her nose was broken maybe twice or three times... I don’t know exactly how many times, but it occurred when we were first married and I rolled over in the bed... and I hit her in the nose… each time that she was pregnant, she had this problem where she had red in her eyes, like her eyes were all bloodshot… I don’t think that she went to the obstetrician claiming that I had hit her.”

Dislocated Shoulder:

Court Transcripts: June 7 1989
Mark Collins: "I don’t remember her having a concussion or a dislocated shoulder. If she did it wasn’t caused by me.”

Court transcripts: January 8 1991
Mark Collins:
”Her shoulder was dislocated just fooling around. I don’t know how to explain this.”
Attorney:
The dislocated shoulder was a wrestling episode? Was anybody else present during that, do you remember?
Mark Collins: "Just the children. I don’t remember it specifically.

His Own Words... What do you think now?
