I understand that abuse is an issue for you, Sharon, and I respect that. Abuse is an issue for a lot of us. But, from my own experience, I know that there can be exculpatory facts in situations like this--furthermore, I know, also from my own experience, that the camera image, no matter how vivid, does not really show what is happening--

When the word "exculpatory" comes up, though, it means that there is different explanation for what has happened than the first one that pops into people's minds, not that what we have seen is necessarily reasonable or acceptable--only that the issue is much more complex, in both cause and solution, than we first realize--
