How sad on this day of Thanksgiving I have read a story reported by
Media-Newswire.com http://media-newswire.com/release_1106589.html
that a federal grand jury has indicted
Ryan Holness, age 28, of Lexington Park, Maryland, for interstate domestic
violence, related to the murder of his wife.
The story in part goes on to say ““The Interstate Domestic
Violence Statute, which was enacted in 1994, authorizes federal prosecution of
any criminal who travels across a state line with the intent to kill a spouse
or intimate partner,” said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. “The decision to
use that authority in this case was made jointly by federal and state
authorities.”
According to the one count indictment, on June 5,
2009, Holness allegedly traveled across state lines with the intent to kill or
injure his spouse and in the course of doing so, committed and attempted to
commit a crime of violence against his spouse.””
Domestic
Violence hurts us all!
