Connections: Domestic Violence

The NFL announced last week, they have suspended Ravens running back Ray Rice two games for the alleged beating of his then-fiancé -- now-wife -- to the point that she lost consciousness. The league has faced criticism that the punishment sends the wrong message about domestic violence.

Jaime Saunders, CEO of Alternatives for Battered Women

Pat Huntington-Siegle, Rochester Police Department Victim Assistance Unit

Jeff Pier, director of programs and services for Alternatives for Battered Women
