Issac J. Bailey a Different Perspective: Domestic violence has many faces

Yeah, poor little Kenneth Selim who appears in your article beat the hell out of Nearin Blackwell the night she stabbed him. He beat her regularly and even slashed her with a box cutter when they lived in Conn. and spent time in jail. If there should be any outrage, it should be that Nearin Blackwell wasn't freed on self defense.

Yea right my daddy was great i bet you dont even know him

honey thats my daddy

Some select quotes from the court record of Nearin Blackwell's sentencing hearing:
Page 11 and 12 lists the victim Kenneth Selim's multiple felonies... then:
1. Feb 02 "...THIS INCIDENT REPORT INDICATES THAT A POLICE OFFICER OBSERVED A FEMALE LATER IDENTIFIED AS NEARIN BLACKWELL, DATE OF BIRTH 1-30-1967, LYING ON THE GROUND AND CRYING... BLACKWELL LATER SAID THAT SHE WAS AFRAID TO REPORT KENNETH SELIM BECAUSE OF HIS HISTORY OF BEATING HER... KEN BEGAN TO HIT HER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FACE AND SHOULDER AREA. HE THEN PUT HIS ARM AROUND HER NECK AND BEGAN TO DRAG HER DOWN THE SIDEWALK. PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY YELLED. THE POLICE WERE IN THE VICINITY AND SOON CAME TO HER RESCUE."
2. "...A REPORT FROM MIDDLETOWN PRESS... IN DEC 2002 ...KENNETH SELIM HAD BEATEN NEARIN IN THE FACE, CUT HER ELBOW, AND MADE A FIVE INCH CUT IN HER BACK AS SHE RAN FROM HIM..." (What it doesn't say is this was with a box cutter)
3. "IN JAN '05 THERE IS AN INCIDENT REPORT INDICATING THAT KENNETH HAD ...STRUCK HER SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FACE AND ABOUT HER BODY..."
4. "IN APRIL '04 NEARIN BLACKWELL PRESENTED TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL WITH THREE DAY OLD FACIAL BRUISING. SHE DID NOT REPORT TO THE POLICE AT THAT TIME THE SOURCE OF THE INJURIES TO HER FACE BUT NOW DECLARES THAT THAT HAD BEEN A RESULT OF A BEATING."
5. "...IN JUNE 2004 NEARIN BLACKWELL PRESENTED AT THE HOSPITAL, LEFT WITHOUT COMPLETING TREATMENT AND AGAINST MEDICAL ADVICE. THE PHYSICIAN NOTES INDICATES THAT HER INJURIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH ABUSE. SHE HAD A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA AND INJURY TO BOTH HER EYES. THERE WAS A NOTATION BY AN EARLIER PHYSICIAN, AN OPTHAMOLOGIST ELIZABETH ROCKO, THAT NEARIN HAD GIVEN HISTORY OF ABUSE BY KENNETH SELIM OVER THE PRIOR TWO YEARS BUT AGAINST THE HOSPITAL'S REQUEST SHE REFUSED TO REPORT HIM."
6. "...THE FIRST SUCH AFFADAVIT COMES FROM PAM WILSON WHO INDICATES THAT SHE SAW KENNETH SELIM BEAT NEARIN BLACKWELL ON NUMEROUS OCCAISONS, ONE IN THE SUMMER OF 2001. SHE USED THE WORD SAVAGELY BEAT WITH A STICK...THAT HAD A NAIL STICKING OUT OF IT."
7. "THERE'S AN AFFADAVIT FROM A SANDRA LECLAIR THAT IS ALSO SWORN AND PROPERLY NOTARIZED THAT DURING THE EARLY 2000'S THAT SHE HAD SEEN KENNY SELIM PUNCH NEARIN IN THE HEAD HARD..."
8. "FINALLY, YOUR HONOR, IF I MIGHT SHOW THE COURT, THIS IS THE DEFENDANT'S WRIST BAND UPON HER ARREST. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THAT BLOWN UP IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU CAN SEE THE SWELLING UNDER HER EYES AT THE TIME OF HER ARREST."
9 DR. MARTY LORING'S, WHO PSYCHOLOGICALLY EVALUATED NEARIN, TESTIMONY: "...LET ME SUMMARIZE THIS BY SAYING THAT NEARIN BLACKWELL SUFFERS FROM THE BATTERED WOMAN'S SYNDROME, THAT SHE CERTAINLY LOVED AND LOVES MR. SELIM, HAD INCREASED FEAR OF HIM, WAS TERRIFIED BY HARM OR DEATH. SHE HAS A HISTORY OF DEPRESSION AND PANIC WHICH SHE BROUGHT INTO THIS RELATIONSHIP...AND HER, ACCORDING TO WITNESS REPORTS, HER PREFERRED WAY OF AVOIDING VIOLENCE WAS TO RUN AWAY. THE FOLKS FROM CONNECTICUT REPORT HER RUNNING AWAY AND HIDING..."
