Valentines night in '95 would turn out to be a night that would alter the life of Sally McNeil significantly. A beaten and battered woman at the hands of her husband Ray, the years of abuse would come to a brutal, bloody end on that night, with Ray the recipient of two shotgun blasts, one to the stomach and one to the face. What followed would be a long, convoluted trial, which focused on two questions: was it self defence or was Sally a bitter woman with her own anger issues and violent tendencies, who was lashing out at her husband who was going to leave her for someone else?
