  • Resumen

  • The 1987 case of Angelique Lavallee provides a roadmap for the “battered woman defence.” Canada’s first female Supreme Court justice, Bertha Wilson, attempts to expose systemic sexism in the justice system. Helen is charged with first-degree murder, and has to decide whether to accept a plea deal or go to trial.

    Elizabeth Sheehy’s book is Defending Battered Women on Trial: Lessons from the Transcripts.

    Theme song, “The Fighter,” by Jenn Grant.
