a lack of evidence. in fact, the judge seemed to point to a bunch of things that were evidence against foster's girl.

-the bruises she had were most consistent w/ the fight she had earlier that day in a traffic incident than one would get from an NFL linebacker "punching her in the head 10 times" and dragging her down the stairs.

-i didn't realize this but the traffic fight was caught on camera.

-the witness who saw her calling for police corrected the judge/lawyer when they said that the girl was in distress. he went out of his way to say that she was actually pretty calm. this was also echo'd by the cops that went to the house.

-she had previously falsely accused a different ex of domestic abuse.

-there was no evidence to the fact that he threw her dog across the room. police said when they got there, she and the dog were pretty calm.
