This 1st story is almost exactly what I went through. He was active military and worked with the local pd. Plus, his dad was a prosecutor and brother a cop. I remember 1 time I called the cops and they said if I press charges one my ex, they will press charges on me from allowing my infant daughter to be in the abusive situation and they would give her to CPS. They told me to go in the house and work it out. No one helped me until I was left in a ditch on the side of the road, and he left state with my daughter. All charges, but simple DV were dropped and he spent 70 days in jail, but with the plea agreement I got full custody and his rights taken. We are okay now. I live over 1000 miles away, It's been almost 10 years, my daughter is She's a beautiful happy girl who is turning 10 this weekend, and I'm happily married.

Perrault's lawyer looks like his lifestyle is a reflection of his clientele. The idea of standing up and lying to a jury for a living, assisting in the emancipation of a killer, is appalling.

[@Periwinkleblue.]

Katrina's story is one of redemption on a Biblical scale. Showcasing the power of words to impart life or death. Her grandmother telling her to stay. Her Dr saying she'd never walk again. But where many failed, there was always one who didn't. Her physical therapist telling her she would recover fully. The 20 year old who brought her to the hospital. Her lawyer, blind with a righteous anger, fighting on her behalf when no one else would. One of the worst things that could have happened, getting kicked out of her attacker's mother's home, turned out to be the best thing for her. In this lowest place, she began to find her own identity, independance, inner strength and will to fight - essential to the powerful person she is today. Nothing else could have forged the internal fortitude she gained through her hardship and no one can ever take it from her. This is truly inspiring. ❤

My "death wish," psychopathy & lack of willingness to live kept me alive -- odd I know.

He let me go with (what it seemed like) fear in his eyes... I left after that with the blessing of all of my children (including my "forever" stepkids), his mom, his sister & my parents. Never looked back. After couple more bs relationships & tons of bs because of their own insecurities -- I chose to remain single... still am to this very day.

I have seen with my own eyes families making excuses for the abuser telling the women (almost begging them) to stay with their sons it's crazy they will get mad when they would call the police or even talk to anyone about it, because "it was family business" I unfortunately have learned about verbal, emotional and mental abuse but it's not serious like physical so it's ignored,jokes made, they egg on the BS and any time you say anything to stand up villain, so you think there is no point, everything you say/do is wrong so getting the blessing she doesn't have to get it but it makes things easier, the constant blaming you and guilting you into stay because you misunderstanding things or need to get over things glad her family gave/became her support because without it gathering strength to leave can be hard

Katrina survived because of her own strength and love for her children, not because of a clever system designed by ancient oligarchs to foster obedience for their serfs. Katrina is amazing and I salute her.

All knees will bow and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, he is there and waiting for you to reach out so he can perform miracles in your life

[@AllergicToMakeBelieve]

@@JMsweet_ No thanks, I'm good. I live simply, I give generously, and my life is peaceful. No need for any miracles here.

Heartbreaking story, an inspiration to other women suffering

[@SurvivorC]

She's amazing!! Judges need to be held accountable

[@justanotherinfj.]

I’m so happy she went into that profession. 😭💛 such a strong woman.

[@CatskillsGrrl]

Wait, wait, wait - her hands were never checked for GPR and the gun never checked for fingerprints? The hell you say?!

[@DanaLeBleu-lw2lk]

Exactly what I said lmao I had to rewind it to check if I heard it right

[@lamar7902]

I read that Alex Irvin is remarried and working as a manager someplace. Good luck to his new wife. There's no way I would have married him.

[@melissabarham4837]

Why did they not test the second woman's hands for gunshot residue? That could have made it an open and shut case either way....

[@cathycadra7259]

Katrina is most definitely a “beautiful black queen” as she called herself! What an incredible woman! God bless you every day Katrina❤️

[@fionagregory9147]

Why don't the government look after women with kids like they do in the UK?

[@alex-qd6of]

Because of the right wing, mostly. They only care about children, until they're born.

[@vladimirputinforUSA]

They only care about the dollar bill. Pay your taxes and don’t complain about anything

[@LadyChann]

We are indeed very lucky like that here .

[@kimberlyhood4095]

The UK had to do it because the abuse had gotten so bad, they have way more deaths on average compared to the US and we have 300M more people.

[@biln3]

There are too many in the US. It's an epidemic

[@User_name5]

5 years??? That judge is incompetent!

[@cathrionaaffleck2638]

This woman's strength is an inspiration to women everywhere 🙌 wishing this stunningly beautiful queen all the success in the world 🌎

[@CityBohoGirl]

I am sitting here stunned and in tears. So many of us have experienced our hells… most do nothing to help others should they be lucky enough to make it out. And none are near as grave - that I have personally heard of - then this beautiful, black queen’s. Katrina? You. You are. You didn’t have to be and you did anyways. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story.. it so through our stories that we connect and intimacy is created. I wish I knew you or had the chance to know you and thank you. Cheers, Queen. You fought the good fight. Xo from Chicago.

[@laylafritz5880]

I love the confidence Katrina had on her face (Good Cop) she had so much strength in her smile when she said she was a Beautiful Black Queen that fought the fight. ❤😊 Such a strong and amazing woman. Inspiration for all of us ladies out here.

[@carolmayes-gg5mu]

This woman is amazing. She didn't mention God but God must have been with her. An amazing woman. I imagine their is no one better to help young woman than her. I congratulate her!!!!

[@onelifedontwasteit8568]

She mentions God in first 5 minutes.
