Despite her years surrounded by pain and suffering, she has never become jaded or hardened. and has retained her belief that justice will prevail. Here, she presents three of her toughest and terrifying cases. One case describes a combination of rape, attempted murder and arson, another describes a brutal same-sex rape and the third a vigilante-style murder. This truly is true crime at its best and most raw.
