El Dorado County District Attorney]<\/em><\/p>\n

She had been married to Michael Turner for four years, and he turned out to be the husband that nightmares are made of. \u00a0Since the start of their marriage, Turner was verbally abusive towards her. \u00a0He would routinely tell her that he could rape her because she was his wife. \u00a0He constantly threatened to kill all of their pets. \u00a0Turner also threatened more than 200 times to burn down their apartment complex with her and their children inside. \u00a0In the weeks leading up to the start of 2018, Turner began his physical assaults against her and their children.<\/p>\n

Turner had set up a make-shift dart board in their living room, and would throw knives at the wall when he was angry. \u00a0On multiple occasions, he pretended to throw the knives at her while threatening to kill her. \u00a0Turner was sick with the flu one day and did not want her to leave for work. \u00a0She did, and when she returned home Turner picked her up off the ground by the neck of her sweatshirt and began screaming at her. \u00a0She wasn’t able to turn her neck to either side for two days after that incident. \u00a0She heard Turner on multiple occasions throwing their son into walls. \u00a0The abuse of their son was so bad that the son reported to a school counselor that he wanted to kill himself. \u00a0She finally had the strength to report the four years of abuse to law enforcement on January 19, 2018.<\/p>\n

Once a criminal case was filed, the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office assigned an advocate to represent and assist the victim throughout the prosecution of the case. \u00a0The advocate assisted the victim starting the day the case was filed through the final resolution. \u00a0With the victim’s cooperation Turner was convicted of a serious felony strike offense and sent to state prison for two years and eight months. \u00a0The victim was happy with the resolution and was thankful to finally be free from this life of violence.<\/p>\n
