51 - The NFL Has Inconvenienced Me

Starting off the episode with an embarrassing story time; yes, it’s been weeks and I’m still not over it. Also, do you guys think I should send the NFL an invoice for ruining my birthday weekend? Let me know. This week we’re discussing John Battaglia, a convicted murderer executed by the state of Texas for filicide in 2018. Just an awful story, devastating. This prompted Texas Senate Bill 1408 (SB 140), passed by the Seventy-Seventh Texas Legislature. The bill had two main purposes: (1) to give direction to judges "regarding the appointment of sole custody in family violence cases," and (2) to change the way Texas courts handle visitation when a parent has a history of domestic violence. Here we go.. have your tissues ready for this one. | https://www.thehotline.org/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=domestic_violence | https://www.justice.gov/ovw/domestic-violence | https://www.justice.gov/ovw/domestic-violence | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5282617/ | https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Battaglia | https://www.texastribune.org/2018/02/01/dallas-man-who-killed-his-daughters-set-again-execution/
