When I first saw Garth hit Lisa, I couldn't believe my eyes. Instinctively, I took a picture. But when he went to hit her again, I grabbed his arm and pleaded with him to stop. He hardly noticed my presence, nor did he seem to care that anyone was watching. This surprised me at the time. Now I know that when a man is determined to beat his wife, he will do it in front of the children, the neighbors, even the police. Garth's response to my plea was, "I know my own strength and I'm not going to hurt her - I'm only going to teach her a lesson."
