Is this case domestic violence or domestic dispute? The police allege that he hit the woman 117 times in 30 minutes. Supposedly, the video would have condemned him. Yet there is not a medical examination nor photographic evidence of physical damage. I would imagine there is usually no video evidence in such cases and that should not prevent such a case from being prosecuted. He did plead "guilty" but it involves no jail time and we know that in the current legal climate a guilty plea is more pragmatic despite innocence. Now, I am not defending him but I want to understand why everyone is taking the SF police's allegations at face value and running wild with accusations rather than investigating the truth? I have yet to read a single article that is balanced with original reporting (asking the woman in question and those around her, did she have a black eye?).

This is blog-spam of the re/code piece.Some other links have more context on the allegations and the response. EG, http://time.com/78572/radiumone-ceo-fired/ http://time.com/78572/radiumone-ceo-fired/ The now-former CEO defended himself in a blog post Sunday, saying that he merely had a “normal argument” with his girlfriend after he discovered she was having “unprotected sex for money with other people.” Chahal denied injuring his girlfriend in the argument. The whole thing seems bizarre. If the counter-allegations are true (and not just a smear) it may foreshadow credibility issues in any open-court prosecution. It may also explain a delay in seeking medical attention or documentary proof of injury. Maybe someone can chime in if the victim or the police was on the hook for the evidentiary issue. The BOD at some level may have been forced into a position to act simply because, no matter who was right, this looks like a bizzare and potentially compromising situation. Although I guess it would just be tabloid fodder if the injuries were truly non-existent.
