The Gana Family Tragedy

This week's case is a case from the diaspora. A listener suggested this case through the case suggestion list and I am glad I was able to cover it.The case is about a Filipino-American family in California who was considered unassuming and very much run of the mill. At least for those looking from the outside looking in. But all was not well, especially for mother Annamaria Gana who in 2010 received a devastating cancer diagnosis. Everyday was a fight for the mother of two. By May 2011, it all became too much and Annamaria decided to take matters into her own hands. Feeling like her family would not survive without her, she decided to do something that she thought would be in everybody's best interest. Her actions would have devastating consequences and also raises questions about female family annihilators.Listen now to this penultimate episode of Lagim's season 3.My special thanks goes to Sigi who lent his voice to part of Tony's statement, which was made in court during Annamaria's trial.
