Here's a newsflash: If she were wanted on any other crime, and she came to the courthouse for an order of protection, she would ALSO be arrested. Say, for example, she was wanted for murder, or grand theft auto, and she showed up at the courthouse and announced herself via requesting an order of protection. The police would absolutely take her into custody at that point. Would that be "denying her justice" for her spousal abuse? Would you suggest that "justice" requires ignoring all other crimes? Or just some of them? If so, which ones?
Look, I'm sorry that her husband abused her. Obviously, I don't want anyone being a victim of spousal abuse. But the bottom line is, I'M not the one who put her in this position. I didn't send her an invitation to violate federal law and come here. I didn't make her commit a crime and put herself into a position where she's outside the law and therefore cannot ask the protection of the law free of fear of punishment for her crimes (a state that, in fact, exists for ANY criminal). She chose to do that of her own free will, and if she's suffering for her choice to place herself outside the safety of being a law-abiding person, that is not my problem. It's hers.
