P. v. Trammel CA1/1
M.T. dated Trammel for 5 years. In June 2017, the two had an argument and, according to M.T., Trammel “plugged in an iron and burnt me on my arm with it and beat my knees several times with it.” M.T. took photographs of her injuries but did not report the abuse or leave Trammel because she was scared. After an argument on October 18, 2019, Trammel punched M.T. repeatedly in the knee with his fists. He used “[a] lot” of force and her pain was “about a 10” on a scale of one to ten. M.T. again documented the injury.
Several days later, M.T. was walking home—after apparently having been gone “too long”—when she felt something hit her head, turned around, and saw Trammel. They started fighting but then Trammel ran off. As M.T. gathered her personal items and resumed her walk home, Trammel returned in a car. He opened the car door, and “drug” her inside. She did not go willingly and told him to leave her alone.
