Just finished with my show and we had a caller who called in that literally made my mouth drop open. The caller was a woman who was incarcerated for over five years for killing her perpetrator who abused her for over three years. When she called the cops he was never arrested but once and that was for sticking the barrel of a gun in her mouth in front of her child. He was charged with endangering a minor child and was released. He only spent a weekend in jail wow! When the caller explained how they hurried her to the prison and held her in jail for two months before sending he up the river I was pissed for hearing this.

What prosecutor in their right mind would jail a mother who was abused and had made several reports regarding this man. To add fuel to the fire he was also facing charges for a murder of another woman. I asked her why did this happen she stated it was probably because she was Black and he was Italian. WOW!  I thought to myself how can a woman who justifiably killed a man that was abusing her after she ran several times even moved out of state was still harassed.  You have to ask yourself what is up with the court system. I stand appauled how can this have happened in America and to the victim. Of course the state realized they made a mistake after five years and released her but does that give the time back she lost with her child. America really needs to re-evaluate their system they call justice when it comes to victims of violence they seem to get the short end of the stick.

As a journalist I love getting stories out there to the masses. I hope you enjoy the show and please feel free to call in when I'm on. Every Tuesday at 7 p.m.
