August 30th: Dixie Shanahan Kills(2003)

As a victim, does that give you the right to take a human life? An act of self defense to get out of a truly horrific situation? On August 30th 2003 a woman did what she claimed she thought was necessary to escape a dangerous situation. One that she felt she had no other way out of.

August 29th: Sheila O'Leary Sentenced (2022)

Choosing a certain diet or lifestyle for yourself, as an adult, is your prerogative. You have the autonomy to say what is and is not working and what makes you feel good. But, is it okay to make those choices for your child? One who can’t communicate how they feel? On August 29th 2022 a woman was sentenced for the crime that was the outcome of one of these choices.
