War Machine, the man formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver, has been found guilty on twenty-nine charges earlier this week during his trial with Christine Mackinday, better known by her stage name “Christy Mack”. Mackinday feared for her life after the day this all began years ago when Machine abused her to the point where she was going to die, and now she has found some justice.
Mackinday took to social media to celebrate her victory in court, hoping to aid other victims in taking a stand against their abusive significant others in their relationships:
Today was a great victory for myself, as well as victims of DV everywhere. Please continue to speak out, and stay strong!
