Stephen Goldsmith Jailed for Domestic Violence

[Kevin Cloyd]

From the Indianapolis Star;

Former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith was forced to resign Aug. 4 as deputy mayor of New York City because he had been arrested for assaulting his wife Margaret.

Goldsmith and his wife issued a statement this morning denying that any crime was committed, despite the detailed police report from Washington, D.C., police about the July 30 incident for which Goldsmith spent two days locked up in jail. No charges were filed as Mrs. Goldsmith would not pursue charges.

1. Just a sad story.

I guess once people realize how much they can lose by pursuing these charges, they often reconsider domestic abuse.

If these allegations are unfounded, then what on earth could have prompted Margaret Goldsmith to say, “I should have put a bullet through you years ago!”????

EDITED for typo and stupid wording. Long day.
