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.
