Domestic abuse victim who was berated and jailed by a Florida Judge made her first public statement Saturday.
.Excerpt ~
She had ignored a subpoena to testify during a two-week trial, according to records obtained by the Daily News.
The woman told the judge she had been suffering from depression and anxiety since April when the father of her child, Myles Maynard Brennan, allegedly attacked and threatened her with a kitchen knife.
"You think you're going to have anxiety now? You haven't even seen anxiety," an unmoved Collins says before issuing her decision.
The woman apologizes again, telling the judge through tears that she's homeless and "not in a good place right now."
"And violating your court order did not do anything for you," Collins said. "I find you in contempt of court. I hereby sentence you to three days in the county jail."

Excerpt ~
The traumatized woman admitted she was wrong but said "it seemed easier to go to jail than to testify against him," according to NBC. She now thinks twice before alerting authorities for help.
"I broke the law and she has every right to do her job," she said. "I'm just taking it one day at a time, and there's good days and bad days. I think after everything that's happened I would most likely not call the police at all."The State Attorney's office said in a statement Collins "will not comment on this matter."
"Florida's Code of Judicial Conduct prohibits judges from commenting on 'pending or impending' cases," the statement said. "Therefore, it would be inappropriate for any judge to comment on a case that could be subject to appeal. "
