Murdered at 17: Nicole’s Domestic Violence Story
Death is final. Nicole’s story explains why more focus is placed on physical abuse than other types of abuse. The courts ruled that her death was not premeditated, and they are now set to release her murderer on parole.
Andrea Henning tells us how the events that tragically ended her sister Nicole’s life, that September 26th day, still traumatizes every member of her family and she asks for your support to stop her sister’s murderer from going free with his crime. Letters promoting Justice for Nicole by protesting the release of her offender can be sent to: [email protected]. These letters may be addressed to “Parole Board Members of Prisoner #309305”.
“Physical abuse is any intentional, unwanted contact with you or something close to your body, or any behavior that causes or has the intention of causing you injury, disability, or death.”
[NB: The word insidious that was used around 21:... is actually meant to be pervasive]
