T/W femicide, domestic violence, death

Dora Howell filed her lawsuit in 2011, where she described in painstaking detail the abuse she suffered at the hands of an ex-boyfriend beginning in 2008.

She stated that police violated the Domestic Violence Intervention Act by not arresting Andre Gaskin, against whom Howell had EIGHT orders of protection.

Dora first reported abuse at the hands of Andre Gaskin in 2008 when she was pregnant with their child. She lived on the floor below him in a building in Brooklyn.

She stated that he threw her to the floor and kicked her stomach, causing her to bleed and require hospitalization.

In response, Howell filed an order of protection against Gaskin.

Between September and November 2008, Dora called the police NINE times to say that Gaskin was violating that order by contacting her, showing up at her door and assaulting her.

Each time police arrived, Dora would show them the order of protection.

Instead of arresting Gaskin, police would say they would remove him from the premises; yet each time they allowed him to go back to his apartment upstairs.

One night, Andre Gaskin used a metal pipe to bang on Dora Howell’s door, breaking the lock in an attempt to force his way inside.

Instead of arresting Gaskin, police asked Howell, “Why don’t you move? Why don’t you go stay somewhere else if this keeps happening?”— and made demands, saying they’d arrest Howell if she called them again.

Weeks later, Dora called police several times to report that Andre Gaskin was breaking the protective order.

On the first occasion, Officers Mosely-Lawrence and Meran responded and waited until Gaskins uncle picked him up.

The following morning, as Dora was about to enter her apartment, she heard Gaskin inside.

Gaskin was speaking on the phone in Howell’s apartment, arranging for someone to assault and rob her.

Dora recorded him through the door, left the building, and called 911 from outside, explaining what she had overheard and recorded.

According to Dora, Gaskin’s uncle “is something . . . I don’t know if he’s a detective.” Dora testified that the uncle came around “all the time,” always dressed in a suit, was known to the responding officers, and that Gaskin was treated specially because the officers knew his uncle and treated him deferentially.

According to court documents, officers have not disputed those facts.

A week later, Andre Gaskin dragged Dora Howell by her hair up the stairs and into his apartment.

There, he physically assaulted her.

When she went to the window to yell for police to help, Gaskin said, “You want help? I’ll send you for help,”before throwing her outside of his THIRD floor apartment window.

When Andre Gaskin threw Dora Howell out of his third floor apartment building, she landed on a wheelchair ramp leading to her building.

Her knee, pelvis and hip were broken, and her spine was fractured.

She stayed in the hospital for over a month, undergoing multiple surgeries.

Dora Howell sued the city and the two officers alleging negligence in 2011. The state Supreme Court ordered the city to produce the officers for deposition THREE times, each time they failed to comply with the courts order.

Instead, in 2012 they filed to dismiss the complaint.

In August 2009, Andre Gaskin was arrested for the assault and for his violations of the orders of protection. He pleaded guilty to charges of assault and criminal contempt in April 2010.

The JL are terrified of jazz

So jazz started working in Arkham and immediately got a reputation

She was patient and kind and gave answers to problems people didn't know they had and was just the best psychologist Arkham had ever seen

She also got a reputation for not being messed with after she used the Fenton-anti-creep-stick on Scarecrow after he tried to attack her

At first, Batman was suspicious but after all the background checks and passed all evaluations so he left her be with a light monitoring

The problems started when the JL needed a physiologist and Batman recommended Miss Fenton

At first, Batman showed up asking for her to leave Arkham and work for the JL, he thought she'd jump at the chance to get away from Arkham...

He was wrong...

After a few months, the patients at Arkham were getting better but the JL need a good phycologist so Batman is still pestering jazz about it

Batman is going full paranoid stalker mode, harassing her at work and constantly sending requests for her to transfer to the JL

The only reason she's not been forced to quit is that everyone (guards, prisoners fellow psychiatrists everyone) in Arkham would rather fight than loose her

But things got to a whole other level when Jazz gets a call from her brother asking why a vigilante is calling him and asking him to convince her to transfer

When she sees him next she goes off, yelling and screaming at him for his behaviour and actions

There's a full 20 minutes of jazz just physio-analysing him, calling him obsessive, paranoid, requires closure, OCD, ODD, inconsiderate, and a whole lot of less friendly things

Everyone is scared because Miss Fenton has never even cursed at anything and now she's going off on THE BATMAN

Their terrified

Someone records it and goes viral everyone in the JL see it and thought it was funny...

Until she requested a meeting with them...

They get in the room and see Miss Fenton, her younger brother and a lawyer

Jazz then proceed to yell at every member of the JL, she called all of them enabling lazy, irresponsible children pretending to be adults

Superman tries to get her to be quiet so he can talk and her brother fucking hits him with a tazer! The scary part is he couldn't use his powers after ("don't worry you'll get your powers back in 24 hours, this is just so you'll listen")

So Jazz spends the next 10 minutes calling all the JL out on allllll their BS

After she's done her lawyer gets up and hands out pieces of paper to everyone

:what are these

: a restraining order

wait im confused. how do you have a sudden restraining order against someone that you didnt initiate? can the court just order someone not to be around any random person?

sometimes if someone assaults you or expresses threats, the judge can place release conditions not only banning them from entering the property they were picked up from, but also from knowingly approaching you for a certain period of time

I've had people get conditions to stay away from me before, so that's old hat, but this one was alarming because I never actually talked to the guy before he was arrested, and he didnt assault me

meaning that whatever threats he made, they happened after he was taken into custody, directed towards me SPECIFICALLY, spoken to a cop judge or parole officer, and taken seriously enough to address in court

And I don't know that until the letter arrived in the mail eight moths after the dude was picked up

I don’t think people realize the amount of stalking situations where the police reaction is literally “hm maybe we’ll do something if they kill you but until then have you considered moving?”
