A Cleveland woman defended herself from a violent attack in her own home. She called 911. She told the truth. And how would the system  repay her for her troubles? 

This week on The Black Docket we cover the case of Thomia "Mia" Hunter a story about domestic violence, self-defense law, battered woman syndrome, and what happens when the criminal justice system fails a Black woman who did everything right. 

We break down the trial, the evidence the jury never heard, and the fifteen year fight to correct what a Cuyahoga County courtroom got wrong in 2005.

If you or someone you know needs help, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline  call or text 1-800-799-7233, text START to 88788, or chat at thehotline.org. Free and confidential 24/7.
