A Texas man who sued his ex-wife’s friends for helping her obtain an abortion informed the court that the two sides reached a settlement, forgoing the need for a trial that would have tested his argument that their actions amounted to assisting in a wrongful death.
Attorneys for Marcus Silva and the three women he sued last year filed court papers this week stating they had reached an agreement. Two of the woman countersued Silva for invasion of privacy but have also dropped now those claims, according to court records.
“This case was about using the legal system to harass us for helping our friend, and scare others out of doing the same,” Carpenter said. “But the claims were dropped because they had nothing. We did nothing wrong, and we would do it all again.”
two sides reached a settlement
He’s going to fuck himself and they’re going to forget he exists?
his ex-wife’s
That’s a relief, good for her.
“He has engaged in disgracefully vicious harassment and intimidation of his ex-wife,” the opinion read. “I can imagine no legitimate excuse for Marcus’s behavior as reflected in this record, many of the details of which are not fit for reproduction in a judicial opinion.”
If only somebody could have predicted that mysogynist legislators weaponizing the legal system would enable abusers. /s
What other situations exist where someone is obliged to keep another person inside their body?
You can’t rape your wife in a red state, har har.
In Mississippi, a person can be convicted of sexual battery of a spouse when they are living together only if he engages in “forcible penetration against the victim’s will”.[40][citation needed] This excludes, among others, situations where the victim is “rendered incapable of knowing or controlling his or her conduct, or incapable of resisting an act due to the influence of any drug, narcotic, anesthetic, or other substance administered to that person without his or her consent”.[41]
So just get them drunk I guess.
Not even drunk, just spike the punch and rape away! M. I. S. S. I. S. S. I. P. P. IIIIIII!
Brittni and Marcus Silva divorced in February 2023, a few weeks before Silva filed his lawsuit. The defendants alleged in their countersuit that Silva was a “serial emotional abuser” in pursuit of revenge and that he illegally searched Brittni’s phone without her consent.
Sounds like a class act.
