#StopDomesticViolence - Michael Jace Charged With Shooting Death of His Wife

Michael Jace and wife April Jace before her death

Actor Michael Jace has been booked by police for the murder of his wife. Michael Jace may be innocent until proven guilty by the law, but he did call 911 himself to report he shot his wife. Law enforcement sources say Micheal Jace's 2 kids had witnessed him allegedly shooting and killing their mom.  The kids - both under 10 - were extremely upset and taken to the police station.

Though the kids have now been taken to the home of a family member where they could be comforted, can you imagine the trauma that will stay with them for the rest of their lives? And in the very likely event Micheal Jace is sentenced to life in prison, they have become total orphans!

I can never understand how a man can marry a woman and then turn around and harm or kill her. No matter the acrimony, divorce or quarrel, how can you raise a gun to the mother of your children? It just bothers me that in the middle of the Oscar Pistorius trial we are now hit with this news.

Did you know that according to statistic of women who are murdered, the perpetrators are most times someone whom they were once in a romantic relationship with? You woman quarelling and getting violent with that man, your husband, boyfriend, ex, or the father of your kids, what are you still doing there? Do you want to wait until you die in that toxic relationship?
