I have not read this book so I cannot vouch for it but the description looks interesting and it is currently free on Amazon.com

"William McGaughey does not fit the profile of a domestic abuser. At the time of his first arrest, he was a 70-year-old man, graduate of a top-rated Ivy League college, a noted world historian, long-time singing companion of Minnesota’s poet laureate, and past friend to two U.S. Senators, now both deceased but, in their time, of immense reputation. He coauthored a book with the better known of the two.

But the moment the Minneapolis police arrived at his home, he was put in handcuffs, taken to jail, and prosecuted for an offense which had not really taken place. When the same thing happened again a year later, he was looking at ninety days in the work house.

This is a true story which should be a warning to other men: Your personal freedom is fragile in a state where a woman’s word concerning male violence is believed, without question, by prosecutors, the police, and just about everyone else in our society.

Ultimately, however, McGaughey beat the system. Having once pled guilty-continuance to be with his wife in her time of need and to save his home from condemnation by city inspectors, on the second occasion he waited it out, refused to hire an attorney, assembled exculpatory evidence, refused plea bargains, and at the last moment gained dismissal of the charge brought against him. Now he has written a “tell all” account of his adventures dealing with the criminal-justice system. See through his eyes the jail experience, the behavior of police and prosecutors, and the legal issues and procedures facing a self-represented person headed to trial.

Any man facing a similar situation will gain insights from this book into how the Domestic Violence industry works. The law in Minnesota is written so a man need not actually have assaulted or physically harmed a woman to be guilty of domestic abuse but also if, according to her testimony, he made her afraid. There are abundant support services for female accusers but few for the man falsely accused of violence or of causing fear of violence. Indeed, the Minnesota Supreme Court has instituted a training program which requires all attorneys practicing in the state to learn how to be sensitive to the special needs of women in the courts."
