I’m tired of women being locked up for defending themselves from violent men & judged by men equally as toxic & likely violent. This woman was in her last trimester & this man was trying to kill her & her baby. Today she would have faced murder charges for the loss of a her baby in the male dominated justice system bent on punishing women.

Hearing her story sits near to my heart, as I too, was a victim of domestic violence by the man that I married and gave birth to. I lost two children due to abuse, and there were times that I felt like the only way I was for me to return the violence, but I contemplated because I knew that there could be repercussions that would have not been in my favor. This woman protected herself against the man that was supposed to protect her. She deserves a fair chance in life. Free her now.

Women who defend themself against rapist and abuser should not be imprisoned! The justice system is so skewed to men, even violent men, it's beyond belief ! Free Susan Brown!

They steamrolled her and over charged her. Women have a right to protect themselves, despite the man-dominated justice system essentially saying we must take the abuse or else be punished.

Throughout history women have been punished for defending themselves against their abusers while those same abusers received slaps on the wrist or were able to walk away numerous times. This is a huge miscarriage of justice.

No one should be punished for defending themselves especially not a pregnant mother.

That she was convicted of 1st degree murder is an injustice at the highest level.

Black women are the most disrespected group in this country. Would a white woman have received the same sentence? Of course not!

This is another case of punishment for a Black woman who was protecting herself and her baby, a shameful practice that has dark history in the USA

A mother should never be jailed for saving her own life so she can protect her children!

Self defense should not be punishable in this way. The misogyny runs deep in these systems. Time to change that

Defending yourself against an abuser should end with prison time. Release Ms. Brown!
