Description

<p>"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.</p><br><p>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."</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>This is her story, as told by here from prison in Michigan.</p><br><p>If you or someone you know needs help in relation to domestic violence or abuse please follow the links below.</p><br><p><a href="https://www.domesticshelters.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.domesticshelters.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://strongwomentalking.org.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://strongwomentalking.org.au/</a></p><p>Join the One Minute Remaining Jury <a href="linktr.ee/one_minute_remaining" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HERE</a> get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
