disgusting! I'm appalled! I hope she sues him for everything he's worth, including his business, and then some, and I hope he rots in the miserable little hole he crawled out of!

What's telling to me is that she was too frightened to call 911 for help right after the attack. That wasn't the first crazed beating he'd given that girl.

"CEO of an events and marketing called Global X-ibit, which focuses on social media" Even if without the knowledge that he almost killed two people, that description alone screams "con-artist". Too bad even Texas is to timid to euthanize someone like this.
