No, your claim was that they were in bed one night, Marshall demanded to see the phone, there was a physical struggle (which you claim was a mutual aggressor situation), Marshall grabbed a rifle barrel that just 'happened' to be nearby and he smashed the phone with that.
Marshall's ex-wife is claiming that she had already thrown Marshall out several days before, which is why she was surprised and understandably alarmed when Marshall showed up in the middle of the night with a rifle and demanded to see her phone. They struggled over the phone, he smashed it with the rifle and started strangling her. With their child in the house, I might add. She managed to break free and flee to her parents' house to call the cops.
Marshall's ex-wife tells a much more coherent and believable story about Marshall's domestic abuse event than Melinda does. I wonder how many of Melinda's lies are caused by Marshall's lies to her, and how many are lies added on by her.
