With International Women’s Day coming up this week I wanted to celebrate a courageous and beautiful woman, who seriously slayed right until the end of her life. We will be discussing the murder of a 31 year old woman called Judy Malinowski. On August 2nd,2015, Judy was violently and viciously attacked by someone in her life that she should have been able to trust with her well being, her boyfriend, a 41 year old man called Michael Slager. Despite her extensive injuries after the attack, Judy would hold onto life long enough to make sure that justice was done in her case. Not only that, she used her time left on earth to fight for other people experiencing the same violence that she did at the hands of their partners. She would also become the first person in Ohio state history to testify in their own murder trial. Judy is a real inspiration of what the human spirit is truly capable of. We hope you are as inspired as we were by her incredible story.
