That isn't how I see it. What job skills does Janay Palmer Rice have, how easy is it going to be for her to obtain work. As to Ray, a frustrated out of work man who with a warped logic may find it easy to blame his wife as somehow responsible, is less likely when on the skids to be be abusive than when everything was fine? That sure as the hell is not what is normally seen around courthouses. Domestic abuse is not confined to any particular race, social class, or economic group and there sure as the hell is not a correlation between the more money a family has and a greater level of domestic violence.
With a small child and Ray Rice always going to be involved in that daughter's life?
It doesn't excuse it, but I heard this morning that there is a longer video with sound, from inside the elevator in which they are shouting at each other with lots of swearing, and she then spits in his face, does go to explaining what went on.
