315: She Was Set On Fire & Put Her Killer Away From Beyond The Grave

On August 2, 2015, Judy Malinowski was set on fire by her boyfriend, Michael Slager. Doctors at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center believed she wouldn't survive the night, but Judy defied all odds. She lived for nearly two years after the arson attack and ultimately made history. Judy helped start her own foundation for victims of violent crimes like herself, and became the first homicide victim to give sworn testimony at her own murder trial.
