I am really upset with the prosecutor in KR's trial

I’m a victim of domestic violence from my ex wife and it went on for years. We divorced over 10 years ago and I was immediately transported back watching closing statements. “Everyone takes a beating sometimes” if any jurors have experience with DV it probably sounded the same to them. This also makes the case for the defense that KR according to the prosecutor was about to take a beating.
