Thank you so very much for airing your interview with Prosecutor Michele Anderson.
Her interview was a glimpse into the world of domestic violence.
I am shocked at how prevalent domestic violence is. Attorney Anderson gave the audience insight into the cycle of domestic violence and how to break the cycle. She also gave us the consequences of not breaking the cycle and the limitations of the legal system.
I found the segment regarding the cat to be both brilliant and sad.
Attorney Anderson’s interview is a must see for EVERYONE! Raising awareness in the entire community is a big step in the right direction of ending domestic violence.
Bravo for this interview!
