Abusers often kill their victims when they try to leave and often will hunt them down. Sometimes this is the only way to escape. Nobody should be punished for killing their abuser.
I almost didn’t make it, myself. You can do everything “right” and still get murdered. A piece of paper will not stop someone sufficiently motivated.
And of course, if you suffer mentally because of the abuse, it’s used against you in court to show how “unstable” you are, and that you are just exaggerating about the danger you’re in.
Wtf are you on about? There are so many steps before you have to resort to murder. If you have exhausted them, you should be able to claim self defense.
If you just straight up murder someone, yes, you should be prosecuted.
