Caroline Schwitzky of “90 Day Fiancé” is still trying to wrap her head around the acquittal of her ex, Cole Goldberg, who had been accused of trying to kill her … and she feels betrayed by the system.
As you know … Cole was acquitted of attempted murder last month. Schwitzky accused Goldberg of attempted murder back in 2022 — she claimed the two got into a heated argument at the Boca Bash that year after she dumped Goldberg, and accused him of holding her head underwater.
Caroline tells TMZ … she was so floored Cole was acquitted … she needed several weeks to gather herself to speak out — and says she still can’t process that he won’t be held accountable.
Instead of taking his chances with a jury, Goldberg opted for a bench trial, in West Palm Beach, Florida — and Judge John Parnofiello said in his determination there was too much inconsistency in witness testimony … and enough reasonable doubt to acquit Goldberg.

Caroline — who’s since married and is the mother of five — tells us she feels screwed by the system and has learned firsthand “it’s not what you say … it’s what you can prove.” She also noted her disgust for what she felt was Cole’s public gloating in the wake of his acquittal.
Caroline has since dedicated herself to being a victim advocate — and using her celebrity to help other women who are in abusive situations, through outreach.
After his acquittal, Cole’s lawyers, Heidi Perlet and Marc Shiner, told TMZ … “We are all relieved and grateful that this four-year ordeal is over. We had every confidence in Judge Parnofiello’s ability to be fair to both sides of the aisle and to follow the law.”
