So first trike is the prosecutors ignore disregard the photo's maybe thinking know could be that callous or cruel to tie up a man with a developmental disability. Second strike is she only got let go of her hospital job a week ago. (paid administrative leave!) Thrid and the most critical is no JAIL TIME!!??
how is there no jail time?
can you tie somebody up like the old west and just get away with it.
Sorry I am not more eloquent with this story but I don't have a lot of time but wanted to post this outrageous story
NO JAIL TIME??? am I missing something

Johnson's husband took photos of Schwed tied up at their home and later used the images to retaliate against his wife after she reported him for domestic abuse.

How do we know who did the job of tying him up and imprisoning him? Her abusive ex strangled her? I had similar experiences in the past, and it could be that she and those kids lived in absolute terror, with this abusive presence who threatened to harm them if they interfered or she would get a beating. He could have done this and took pictures and turned them in claiming it was her, any time as leverage. They always want their spouse to look bad.
I also know of my friends and aquaintances abuse. And a woman who I loved, tried to help, and was amazed at her courage standing up to the black market to be a helper for us, a beautiful Eskimo woman who wasn't aging well, due to trauma, and who just ended up murdered. I know one woman who didn't dry the dishes but left them to drip dry on their own as we do, and he chased her around the townhouse with a chain saw, and she had to jump from the second story and hurt, sprain or fracture her ankle, with a baby in the house, managed to get to a phone, the police show up. Meanwhile he hid the still warm chain saw in the spare room and broke dishes and then the police believed him that she was freaking out and unbalanced.
So, abusive male in the house, but you blame her? Women usually can't even get away from them easily.

I find this to be just as disgusting. Instead of alerting the authorities in the first place he uses the pics as some form of revenge. In my eyes, he's just as guilty. If you see something wrong and don't report it or do anything about it, you have a share of the blame. Sick.
