October and November have been some of the deadliest months of the year for women in Texas. We dive into some of the recent cases around the state and highlight the needs for new policies and opportunities that support the safety of women. We also follow up on last month’s conversation about strangulation and discuss its effects in-depth with Jan Langbein and Jordyn Lawson of Genesis. Specifically, we discuss the recent case of Derik Tobar-Gonzalez, a convicted violent offender sentenced to 65 years in prison for charges related to domestic violence, as well as other headline cases of family violence across Texas. This episode discusses domestic violence, strangulation, physical violence, homicide, gun violence, stalking, child abuse, date rape, and trauma.
