Convicted for Surviving

What would you do if your daughter called you from jail and said " I killed him. He was beating me and I killed him.” Should she spend the rest of her life in prison? That question is not hypothetical. It is happening right now in every state in this country. Up to 95% of women behind bars were abuse victims before they ever set foot in a courtroom. More than 40 states have no legal mechanism to help them. None. Oklahoma tried to change that. In 2024, the state passed the Survivors’ Act... landmark legislation giving domestic violence victims who committed crimes as a result of their abuse a chance at a reduced sentence. It passed with near-unanimous support in one of the reddest states in America. One person has walked free. Dr. Phil sits down with survivor and advocate Audrey Prosper, the attorney who built the law from the ground up, and the DA who says he supports it ... and has opposed every case brought under it in his county. What happens in Oklahoma's courtrooms isn't just an Oklahoma story. It's a warning, and a blueprint, for the rest of the country.
