  • Coercive Control

    I am learning so much about coercive control from the Gabby Petito series. Everyone should be more educated on the signs and symptoms! Thank you Laura for your important work!

    Congratulations to Samantha for expressing so simply of what I’ve personally struggled to. Sharing this with you (all) in the hope it helps: I suffered diarrhea for two years as my perp’s controlling behaviour increased. Once he’d left my house, my psychologist did EMDR therapy (tapping in my case), and within a week I was shocked to realise I was suddenly “doing solids!” Love to you all x

  • Clear and important information

    Women need to hear and act on Laura’s insights. (I feel that the bodies of most women have learnt the lessons but our brains don’t hear them). And men need to learn and act too; they need to decide if they will be part of the solution or the problem.

Q: How much of a challenge is it for the prosecution to make a direct line from the financial aspect of this to the murder?
While the prosecution does not have to prove motive, the jury may remain curious about why Murdaugh would commit such acts despite not needing motive to convict based on the strong circumstantial evidence.
