This week we are discussing the life and tragic death of Judy Malinowski, a woman from Ohio, who lost her life after being set on fire by her ex-boyfriend in 2015. Despite suffering severe burns, she fought for two years before succumbing to her injuries, sparking widespread outrage and calls for justice.
