A Fight For Survival - Catherine Brewington & Brittany Figiel

Two women fought to survive domestic violence—but only one walked away completely free. Catherine Brewington and Brittany Figiel defended themselves but faced vastly different legal battles. Why does the justice system fail survivors who fight back? We examine the inconsistencies, the victim-blaming, and the deep flaws in how courts handle self-defense in domestic violence cases.https://sinspod.co/episode22sources2Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!Apple Podcast Subscriptionshttps://sinspod.co/appleWe're now offering premium membership benefits on Apple Podcast Subscriptions!
