Would it be believable to a jury that a Police officer would refuse to help a woman who said she was hit by her husband because she had no ID on her?

A couple of questions.
Under what circumstance did the allege act occur?
Was there any indication that the woman may not be the wife?
If the evidence available at the scene was murky, then ID would be needed all around.

No, it wouldn't. Haven't you seen COPs half those people don't have ID on them. If an officer refused to interveen on the woman's behalf and she later got injured or killed, he'd be fired.

I wouldn't be surprised even if she did have ID. Officers have to make judgements about credibility, if whe seemed to be drunk or high or to be making stuff up as part of a 'domestic dispute,' for instance.

If the jury is competant and these are the only facts; I would say yes.

Yes, most people don't have trust in law enforcement these days, right or wrong.

Yup. Cops definitely are not perfect. I'm sure it happens all the time.
