But domestic violence issues are difficult and don’t always go to court, and even once there, I imagine a guilty verdict is hard to obtain. But also, if someone has changed/addressed their issues, do they not also deserve a chance at redemption?

Trump expresses similar concerns:

"Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new," Trump tweeted.


"There is no recovery for someone falsely accused — life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?"

People are expected to resign/be fired on the mere mention of an allegation.

If we accused them of something lesser (however you define that), they have constitutional protections. Or sometimes even greater (however you define that). But these accusations are a done deal. Is this right?
