54:39 he can't hear you thank you last night my husband and I we um we got into a heated argument he came in later and he wanted to sex I was still upset with them so I denied him and he he did it anyway are you saying he forced you you make it so so Violet when you say it like that he's my husband he wasn't rape we're married in them you shouldn't be guilted or forced into having sex it's not consensual it is rape husband can't rape his wife

55:24 yes Elizabeth marital rape exists Michael has never been violent with me I wasn't in danger I didn't even scream for help I think this is a scream for help and you are in danger if you think that the only way to escape is to take your life I'm not telling you what to do in your marriage but what I will say is that your life matters it is important that you take care of yourself of your body as well as your soul I can't just walk out on a marriage right I don't like divorce I think that sometimes it's necessary why don't we just talk about that when you're feeling better yeah Lizzie the nurse to say it's time for breakfast

56:11 I love I'll be around if you need me for prayer or anything it's a pleasure to meet you both ah wow what were the two of you talking about I'm tired Michael I can hear a little breakfast but then I need to rest got a minute yeah come on in I missed you last Sunday I was sick um much better though I've been wanting to talk to you yeah have a seat

57:04 so you wanted to talk to me well I did now that I'm here I don't know what to say did you want to talk to me about faith or Derek Derek or me he attacked me again hey I am so sorry did you call the police he is the police okay um there are shelters that you can go to they have counselors and legal representation you'd be protected there I have faith to

57:49 look after I can't just move her to book he's good to her how good is he to her if he's trying to kill her mother shelter is just not an option okay so what are you gonna do keep my head down my mouth shut it's not your fault you know that right abuse is about power and control well he has both what do you need from me tell me what to do leave them by any means necessary there's a safe place I can give you information on

59:24 oh I better get going I don't want him wondering where I'm at Faith honey why don't you go upstairs and get out of your church clothes not before you give your daddy a hug where have y'all been today sweet pea just to church did you go anywhere after church no just home hmm was mommy talking to the deacons or her

1:00:10 church friends I don't know I stay into my class until she gets me I was like the last one in there today but Miss Sanders gave me an extra piece of candy so it was fine with me I bet it was why don't you head up to your castle princess and change up on the count of three what two three go go go go go go go [Music] it took you so long to get her from class first lady's been out sick I just stopped by to speak to her for a minute about me of course not about church stuff good you know I've never been shot before

1:00:58 but I have heard how painful it is when it rips through you don't be so serious I'm just cleaning them never know you'll need to use one happy anniversary darling

1:01:48 foreign I know our relationship has been Rocky lately but I want our marriage to be strong like it always has been a book well not just any book here look at it how to properly care for and serve your husband I know it gets confusing for women to know what their role is and this book right here redefines what it means to be a good wife yeah I even

1:02:34 highlighted some of the passages that I thought you might find it enlightenment how to turn your not right nose into right away dear laughs that was uncalled for no that book was uncalled for

1:03:35 [Music] we've all been praying for you Liz and since we heard about your accident because the severity and the situation

1:04:23 of what happened we think that that you should you should step down from counseling until everything gets back to normal with you this was your idea you know you've had issues with your anxiety before and now it's the pills my medical history is private this is not the time I have always been there for you if you can't make the hard decisions I can I think pastors just trying to do what's right for the church so this is about the church

1:05:09 or is it about my marriage our marriage is our business that has nothing to do with this what about the members I'm counseling now there's a young woman I'll counsel her and I won't suggest that she leave her husband every time he loses his temper unbelievable bottom line Elizabeth you tried to take your own life which is a sin you've advised a member of the church to sin by divorcing her husband it's just sin on top of sin and we can't have you leading Souls astray Elaine can give her the card he's a highly competent Christian counselor

1:05:55 we want our Elizabeth back you okay sister I've been driving around for hours what are you doing we're going to pack your things I know you're not staying now Tanya I don't know what I'm gonna do yet I just need to see you just stop I don't want to hear any more excuses why'd you even tell me if you weren't going to leave do you remember when he proposed he was supposed to be this good husband proposing doesn't make good husband material any more than porn syrup on

1:06:41 yourself makes you a pancake [Laughter] for it oh you're still gonna leave him though yeah you're right I wasn't asking I have her address nothing but a word wait what oh sis the Vaseline oh listen you know I stay ready no no no no no no no no we're not doing that this is not high school I'm about to take him to school oh do you just carry that around with you I'm good I just you just

1:07:27 from come on that's lean well listen the shades I mean come on oh girl did you have your phone off today where were you and why was your phone off I ask you a question where were you what you want to watch New York tracker today I want to ask you again not too much to say on that huh why are you gonna pay my mail that's what you have to say to me I would have taken care of it like you took care of that DNA test without me knowing if I

1:08:13 want to come home early I still wouldn't know I didn't know she was telling the truth she has been harassing me for months threatening to tell you I know you're not trying to make me feel sorry for you she's crazy do not call that woman crazy because she wants you to take care of your son she's crazy damn man he looks just like you I saw him and I saw her the woman you were seeing when you were working late on Fridays I drove by her house do you know how dangerous that is baby we can start over

1:09:00 I'll do everything right this time I can't do this Theory you have to let me go so you're just gonna leave me after one moment of weakness a moment you have a whole son out there or maybe you're talking about the moment I was seeing spots while you were choking me or the moment I found out that I can't have any more children because you lost your temper and kicked me till I miscarried our son how many more moments of weakness do I need to overlook Derek okay

1:09:47 I'm gonna fix this okay we'll just work out the details tomorrow then okay thank you brother so uh I don't see dinner I'm making any are you ill nope

1:10:32 you care to enlighten me dinner better be on that table at seven or I'm going out alone I think that's a great idea I mean you going out I'd actually like for you to stay out what the hell's going on Lizzy I'm filing for divorce and I'd like you out until that happens we're not getting a divorce neither of us is Happy why would you no I will not have that kind of talk in my house oh today was necessary Lizzy you sent me in that room and painted me to be a

1:11:19 psychopath then you took the only thing that I have outside of this house and it was in your best interest in my best interest on yours always been about you then the church then Matt and if there's nothing else going on I may get your attention for a minute or two this is not you you're at that age now where your hormones are all out of whack you're acting irrationally like freaking menopause Michael I know exactly what I'm doing well then think about the repercussions

1:12:05 you'll be teaching our son that it is okay to abandon their vows you broke our vows first when you didn't protect me I'm an expert in divorce I counsel it all the time I see what happens it gets ugly the women always regret it and the only people who get hurt are the children if you think you can guilt me into staying by using our son parents work things out Christians work things out they don't just walk away

1:12:59 everyone's going to think you're crazy probably right about that I just don't give a damn hello what are you talking about it wasn't me try not to worry about it we'll figure it out I'll see what I can find out

1:13:45 hi Tanya how could you I'm sorry how could you call his boss it was for your safety my safety and how did all of this play out in your head well he would get arrested he would get fired I don't even have a place to go yet calm down I will not calm down you told me to get a plan together and I was working on that you still can you don't get to dictate how my life goes how dare you all right I didn't know of course you didn't know because it's not your marriage I was looking out for you no you weren't you were trying to be the hero you and Faith deserve better

1:14:31 I made a decision and who the hell gave you that Authority Tanya he will kill me Derek you scared me I did it wasn't me I promise I know you didn't do anything come sit down where's Faith with Zoe they're right behind me

1:15:20 come sit down Terry I'm sorry counseling is supposed to be confidential I kept telling you about talking to those people at church do you know I'm not pressing charges you know I wouldn't do that it was so [ __ ] stupid but you thought you could run your ass all through that church talking about business and that woman wouldn't run and tell the first person she ran into she wasn't supposed to

1:16:07 be here we are dude that's fine really it's okay foreign don't worry about it

1:17:08 why don't you tell me about the wound I found out that Miss Jeffrey's had caught in the report Derek for holding his gun to my head I talked with my sergeant about the other accusation and I felt like Tanya I needed to spend some quality time together sometimes I got loud sarcastic and I knew he hated that and actually she verbally attacks me most times she reminded me why I fell in love with him I love my wife usually he works late Fridays at least that's what he said he was doing I was just sitting there watching TV on the sofa she comes in I ask her to sit next to me I wasn't expecting him to be there I walked in and he was sitting in the dark

1:17:53 drinking I wasn't drunk just a little buzzed he had one of his guns out she starts going off about the girls at the church gossiping about our marriage and how upset she was he kissed me on my forehead and then he got up and walked away I told him not to worry about it he stopped behind me I heard a crack I even gave her a kiss I was afraid he was gonna kill me I think Mrs Anderson's injuries will corroborate her story as well as Mrs Anderson's own testimony time to testifying against me she'd never do that people versus Derek Anderson one count assault with a deadly weapon how do you plead not guilty or honor and

1:18:38 for Bill people request for man given the violence of the repeated attacks your honor Mr Anderson is a first-time offender with a daughter it's not a fight risk agreed I'll ask just once more Mr Maddox do you have a reasonable suggestion for bail people ask that bail be said at five hundred thousand dollars your honor the most dangerous time in a relationship marred by domestic violence is when the victim tries to leave mortality is 500 times more likely Mr Maddox do not use my courtroom for your personal hot button topics you want us to believe that your client has been abused for years but she's not press charges even one time until now the only thing I know about the defendant is what's on this page is Sergeant backs him your client's Pastor Backson

1:19:24 and you want me to believe that officer Anderson is a monster I can't do that today save your case for trial the defendant will be released on his own recognizance your honor of the people request an order of protection and that the defendant surrender all weapons so ordered Frankie Yankee Grand Pass Ed father to open the door letting wonderful smells of sweet potato pies glazed ham foreign [Music]
