A Desperate Defence, A Lifetime Behind Bars P5 - Susan Brown

A Desperate Defence, A Lifetime Behind Bars P5 - Susan Brown

"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.
