Would he have handled the case differently? Does he believe there were issues with how it was investigated and prosecuted?Let’s find out, as Michael Leonard from Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago, Illinois weighs in on the case and Susan’s claims of self-defence.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"The story of how I got here is deeply painful. Years ago I was married to a man who was mercilessly verbally and mentally abusive to me and my children. I wanted to press through the anguish to keep our family together, but then his behavior escalated. I had no choice but to leave to protect our child.A year later, I had moved on and was 30 weeks pregnant with another man's child. My estranged husband was enraged and, in a volatile verbal exchange, stabbed me in my stomach. He then raped me. I fought back to defend myself. In a blur, I ended up in the hospital, with my child devastatingly born prematurely. I then learned that, while it was never my intention, my ex-husband died."These are the words of Susan Brown a lady serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole for what she says was self defense.This is her story, as told by here from prison in Michigan.If you or someone you know needs help in relation to domestic violence or abuse please follow the links below.https://www.domesticshelters.org/https://strongwomentalking.org.au/One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.
