Episode 27 - The Death of Ladawndra Ellington

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so all month long we are going to bring you cases involving domestic and intimate partner violence. Today’s case is an extremely recent case, but one that I do not think is getting enough attention. This is the case of the death of Ladawndra Ellington.

National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or thehotline.org
