I just watched this documentary and it has left me feeling a little…I don’t know, dissatisfied or something.

This is the story of Wendy Maldonado and the murder of her allegedly abusive husband.
Her 17 year old son participated in the murder. They both entered guilty pleas and so a trial was avoided.

There was some fairly compelling evidence presented in the documentary that her husband truly was abusive to both her and her children, but at the same time, it feels like there should have been more proof available.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has seen this and if so, do you believe she and her children were abused? The victims brother spoke at the sentencing hearing and he came across as pretty convinced that she was lying.

Never heard of them, but if they plead out, you really have no idea what proof may have been available because there was no trial to present it.

Yeah, I know. I was hoping for some other opinions anyway just from the little the documentary offered, but it doesn’t look like anyone around here has seen it.

I absolutely believe she was abused, and I think it’s a travesty that she didn’t have a better lawyer. No jury would have convicted her.
