Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 27497, member: 2262"] A court cleared Ibbo Mandaza Jr of charges he hurt his former spouse last Christmas Eve. The judge decided his ex-wife, Tyler Roxanne Robinson, told a story full of holes. She claimed Ibbo Jr, who stands at 33 years old, attacked her during a fight at his place when their two-year-old kid was right there. The court found her words untrustworthy because nobody backed up what she said. Robinson told officials she brought back an old phone because it had naked pictures inside. She showed papers from a doctor about bruises on her right shoulder and both knees. Ibbo Jr told a different tale - he said Robinson attacked him instead. He explained he visited her earlier with food and presents, including that phone she complained about later. Messages arrived from Robinson saying the phone made her mad. When she came over, Ibbo Jr says she acted crazy. He tried to stay calm, but she tore his shirt and hit his face many times. Pictures showed cuts on his ear and bruises, plus he had doctor's papers just like hers. He reminded the court about how she threw hot water at him years ago in 2021. His mom, Diana Mandaza, and their house helper both spoke about seeing Robinson act violently that day. They also talked about her history of angry behavior before. Judge Ayanda Dhlamini decided Ibbo Jr probably suffered as a victim rather than causing harm himself. The judge threw out all charges against him because the case against him seemed weak. The government lawyers depended completely on what Robinson claimed happened. Judges must be careful with cases built on just one person's words. Robinson damaged her story by never showing anyone the naked picture she claimed started the entire argument. The lack of proof helped convince the judge that Ibbo Jr deserved to walk free without punishment. [/QUOTE]
