After reviewing the YouTube videos and
your textbook, draft a discussion post answering the following question based on the scenario below:

In February of 2014, Ray
Rice struck his then
–
fiancé
Janay Palmer
in a hotel elevator while intoxicated. Ray Rice was charged with
third degree aggravated assault the day before Ray Rice and
Janay Palmer were married. The NFL suspended Ray Rice for
two games and then ultimately
suspended Ray Rice indefinitely.
The Ravens terminated his contract the same day he was
suspended by the NFL.

Ray Rice then instituted a lawsuit against the Ravens for
wrongful termination. Rice settled with the Ravens for over a
million dollars in 2
015 and has since blown through the money.
Janay now wants a divorce and wishes to pursue a civil lawsuit
against Ray Rice for him striking her in February of 2014.

What will she need to prove to prevail?

What hurdles does she face in prevailing in
this lawsuit?
