Very often, the criminal justice system is exploited to serve in place of the Family Court for the evil instigator in a domestic dispute to gain an unfair advantage over the other side by using jails and fines for vengeance.  It is often noticed that whichever of the feuding parties gets to the cops first is the “victim,” while the loser of the race is then arrested and prosecuted as the defendant.  Jurors need to watch for such skullduggery and not become a party to nor enabler of it.
