The way that guilt works in the US is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. Hearsay is nothing to convict a person with, especially not of something so serious as domestic violence.

It's better safe than sorry when it comes to throwing someone in a prison. If his tactic is strangulation, I'm sure someone has documented wounds he caused, if true. With the volume of people you say were abused by him in this thread, 50% odds are bound to show results eventually.

Evidence is needed for accusations to be taken as more than warnings, generally.
