It appears that Hull may have kicked her in the shins once...

"The relevant portion of the latest in what surely will be a series of statements from the Hull campaign said:
In February 1998, as our second marriage was ending, we had an argument and Brenda called the police. The police report from that night says that I hit her shin. I would never intentionally harm Brenda, and I regret the incident. The State's Attorney dismissed the case and the order of protection she obtained.

The next day, Brenda's divorce lawyers filed a new case before a different judge, without telling me or my lawyers, and obtained an ex parte order of protection against me. Two days later, we agreed to mediate, and we reached a final settlement. The second order of protection expired under its own terms, and I never had the opportunity to address it."

Like I said, "pending further"....
