while i have no problem punishing people for wife beating, there is a lot of "he said, she said" involved, and it normally comes out bad for the guy. there are also a lot of real DV incidents that go unreported.

at any rate, i do agree that this law is, in essence, an ex post facto law. whether or not the courts agree this will remain to be seen.
