So a reminder to everyone, as usual, if you haven't already listened to the 48 Hours episode, the audio version of it, you can find it in your podcast feed right above this one.

It seemed like Angela really did all the things that you're supposed to do. She endured months of domestic violence. And then Angela Pritchard obtained a no contact order against Chris Pritchard, meaning that if there was any contact that he made with her, It could result in a mandatory arrest. Here's the question.
