Westminster, Orange County - An apparent domestic violence situation in Westminster turned deadly Monday night when a boyfriend allegedly stabbed his girlfriend to death.
Westminster Police responded to a domestic violence call of a man attacking a woman and upon arrival officers were informed the suspect had been stabbing his girlfriend.
Once police arrived to where the girlfriend was located she was profusely bleeding and soon declared dead, according to Westminster detectives.
Westminster criminal attorney Michael L. Guisti explains regardless of the situation the charge of murder is always serious, however domestic violence charges can complicate the situation.
You must remember they're two sides to every story and things aren't always so clear in these cases, and a defense in this situation could possibly be maybe the apparently victim was coming after him in a very harmful matter and this was a method for the suspect to defend himself, explains Guisti.
A professional domestic violence defense attorney knows there is always a good chance there were more issues at hand than what may appear, and, as Guisti goes on to say, we think of woman as always being the victims of this crime, but they're many men who are victims of domestic violence.
They've been many stories where an abused woman "loses it" and harms or kills her boyfriend or husband, and perhaps that was the case here for the boyfriend, says Guisti.
