BATON ROUGE- Some might call it vigilante justice, but an increasing number of domestic violence victims who are predominantly women are turning the tables on their abusers.
The numbers are being tracked by prosecutors who specialize in those cases. Last year, Baton Rouge broke records for the most domestic violence homicides at 19. This year, we are already at 11. In general, what we hear from victims is an exhaustion from both law enforcement and the criminal justice system, Prosecutor Melanie Fields said.
