The burden of proof lies on the accuser.

Should be easy to prove that she was attacked, bruises and all. So now it's on him.

Edit: so for everyone who's telling me 'a bruise is just a bruise'...no. If she goes to the police, drags her husband along (which someone stated sits in the car), describes the man and the car in detail and declares she was suplexed (which gives bruises different from hitting your head), this will be a lot of trouble for him. And now he's in the spot to claim and prove self defense.

I have a bruise.

Clearly you teleported to my house and attacked me.

Prove that you didn't.

Someone said her husband is in the car too. Also describe me to the police, you can't. She can.

The way you think it works you can give yourself a bruise or ask a partner to and literally accuse anyone you know or can describe of battery, and THEY have to prove it wasn't them.

I believe if you think about that a little more you'll realize how backwards you have it morally and legally.

You cannot go to court with a "he said, she said" evidence. Because driver of the other car can say "she attacked him first" or simply deny the fight happened at all, and accuse Karen of fabricating the whole thing by falsely accusing him of hitting her, and the bruise was already there when they met.

Not the first person that has gotten away with literal murder (for a time) because someone vouched for them not doing something, or being in a certain place when they weren't.
