Vanilla's Wife Says It Never Happened
I hate domestic violence. I think I have myself clear on that point. One of the things I hate the most is when a victim can recant her story and then no charges are filed. I think each state should allow prosecutors the ability to file charges against a suspect even if the victim decides to recant their statement.
The reason is simple. Victims of domestic violence are often coerced into recanting their statement. They love the person who hit them or abuses them and they promise themselves it will never happen again. Unfortunately this is not usually the case, and therefore are just setting themselves up to be the victim again.
Prosecutors in Florida today decided to not charge Vanilla Ice after his recent arrest for domestic violence because, "There is insufficient credible evidence to prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt due to the victim recanting her original statement and lack of an independent witness."
Makes me sick. What is worse though is the happy-go-lucky statement from Vanilla's lawyer.
"His wife from the get-go indicated she didn't want to press charges and it was a big misunderstanding, but police arrested him anyway. We provided the State Attorney's Office with statements that it was only verbal from witnesses and from his wife, who recanted on the scene what she told them."
"Rob's excited that he gets to go back home, because all the restraining orders have been dropped. He can't wait to see his kids, and everyone's excited about it."
I'm sure his wife is thrilled that Vanilla is coming home also. I mean he didn't hit her. Right?

Or maybe, just maybe, the "victim" sometimes IS actually a hysterical, neurotic harpy with a ton of issues who stretches the guy to his absolute limits to the point where he has to fight HER off.
Sometimes women can be the manipulative party in these things - which damages the credence of genuine women. Some are absolute timewasters and out and out liars.
Or sometimes the wife is looking for some media attention - which I think is the case here.
I'm with you guys--I think this is a case of Crazy Bitch.
Wait. How do you take something like that back? "He beat the dogshit out of me". ... "OH wait, I fell." WTF??
Sounds like in Florida the DA's can continue to prosecute when the victim recants - they just chose not to because those cases suck for DA's.
CHANGE THAT STUPID HAIR!!!!!!!!! Looks like HE needs a good ass-beating himself.
And shave off that fug "beard" while you're at it.
Wouldn't you be excited if a man named "Vanilla" was coming home? Good ol' plain vanilla!!!!!
crazy bitch this time.
Someone is on a roll today!
I knew a man whose bipolar wife concocted a fake narrative about domestic violence to get the cops to evict him from their home, so that she could continue working as a prostitute and seeing her boyfriends without him talking about ending the marriage. Unfortunately, the male is typically demonized in these situations as a "wife beater." Sometimes, it's the woman whose crazy behavior is at fault.
Nice wonk eye.
I think all States should charge the person that recants. Maybe that way they will think twice about paying the charge.
sad to say, but I agree with the above posters. I think she is crazy and making it up. Don't know why I think that, I am a woman and obviously hate domestic violence but something is just not sitting right here.
