There’s been a lot of discussion in the legal community about the culpability of those whose brains have not yet fully developed. I think that’s why college has such a deserved reputation for being formative. Your brain is still developing and you’re processing new experiences and shaping your worldview, giving you the chance to outgrow your high school, hometown self. The military offers many of America’s young women and men that same opportunity. I'd argue Senior Airman Greene-Watson didn’t make enough of that opportunity and jumped into a hasty marriage and fatherhood without dealing with his own issues around abusive power and control.
I relied heavily on the AFCCA and CAAF opinions. I also referenced information from briefing on the case (1)(2)(3).
For more information on intimate partner violence, I urge you to explore Alliance For Hope and their Family Justice Center Alliance.

Last, but not least, many law schools and courthouses offer free legal assistance for people seeking protective restraining orders.
