         Singleton also testified that, in a June 11 text, she told Keyser “[defendant’s] boyfriend Oscar
ran over her oldest son,” and she further indicated she did not know whether this incident happened
before or after the time she shot the video of Oscar beating defendant. Since Oscar did not have a
relationship with the son that qualifies as one listed under the domestic violence definition in Family
Code section 6211, this incident did not qualify as “domestic violence” under section 1161.3,
subdivision (a).

         The court asked Singleton whether she “filmed something” and sent it to Keyser “right after it
happened,” and she answered, “Yes.” But, when counsel earlier asked whether she sent the video to
Keyser, “during the incident? Right after the incident? Soon after?” Singleton responded, “After,”
appearing to rule out she sent it “right after.” Singleton testified the gun incident happened after the
police served defendant with a temporary restraining order that Singleton sought against defendant.
However, she did not indicate when service occurred, and subsequent to defense counsel asking
Singleton whether the court denied issuing a restraining order, the court struck as irrelevant the line of
questioning of Singleton pertaining to the order.
