It really doesn't matter if her story is full of lies about their relationship, what she said, etc. There is no justification for what he did and he will pay the price. It is sad that discrediting her is somehow a justification for beating her up in the eyes of a lot of people. Even if she is the worst and most lying scummy woman on earth it is not justified.

Even if she is lying about them breaking up, or lying about the guy, or whatever... still can't justify what he did. Period.

Thing is, if he stayed and let himself get arrested, he would have got a much better sentence. This running stuff will make it a lot worse especially if he pleads not guilty and forces a trial.

A jury/judge will see what a horrible human War Machine is and throw the book at him regardless of how bad they paint Christy Mack (and she is not a good person herself so there is lots of dirt they will throw at her but it won't keep War out of a long prison term)
