physical violence by Oscar towards her. As Singleton lived a mere five feet from defendant, it
is reasonable to conclude she heard and/or saw police reporting to the complex and the repeated
instances when defendant was victimized by Oscar, and that she was disturbed, threatened and
harassed as a result thereof.
       Given the evidence presented in the case, we cannot conclude the domestic violence
defense was inapplicable to defend against plaintiff’s charges. Since there was substantial
evidence supporting the defense, the court erred in not allowing the jury to consider it.
                                         DISPOSITION
       The judgment is reversed. Defendant to recover costs on appeal.
