If a wife says at trial she wasn't beat, it's extremely likely you're getting a conviction. I'm aware of a recent high profile case (Mike Glover) where the partner even had signs of broken bones and a beaten down door and the partner just later changed her story to those being due to a recreational accident outdoors and that pretty much terminated the case between that and her not providing a favorable testimony. But that's aside the point. In this case the wife never called the cops, and then when the cops showed up she claimed she wasn't beat, and not only that she has no visible marks or bruises or anything. And none of this is justifying any of it. Just showing how far outside of what we commonly see in fraud cases that actually get convicted.
