A Florida judge yelled at a domestic violence victim and sentenced her to three days in jail for not attending her abuser's trial.

The woman called for help in April 2015, stating that the father of her child choked her and threatened her with a knife. After he was arrested, the woman began having serious anxiety about the incident. According to recently uncovered video evidence obtained by WFTV, "she told the state's victim's advocate that she wanted to drop the charges and move on with her life rather than testify, but she was still called in to court."

Like many domestic violence victims who are scared and anxious about attending the trial of their abuser, the woman chose not to show up to testify. She cited her anxiety and the pain she had been feeling since her boyfriend was arrested. In response, Judge Jerri Collins, who was appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush and now stands for re-election every six years, tore her apart.

"You think you're going to have anxiety now? You haven't even seen anxiety," Judge Collins told the woman in July, refusing to acknowledge the fact that this woman was a victim of a violent crime.

The judge then exhibited a total lack of understanding regarding domestic violence victims. "The incident that happened on April 2, is it true?" she asked.

When the woman stated that the abuse did occur, the judge said "Then why wouldn't you come to testify?" See more below.
