Join us on Public Radio Presents for "A Life Sentence: Victims, offenders, justice and my mother," this Sunday night.
Jay Allison, a co-producer of this piece, says: "This is a story about a terrible crime and everything that followed. It's an intensely personal documentary, but it extends into public life and into the heart of our political and correctional systems. Some stories take a long time. This one is an hour long, took two and a half years to produce, after 20 years of living with it."
Follow producer Samantha Broun as she tells the story of her mother and the violent crime she survived in the fall of 1994.
Join us Sunday, April 3 at 7 p.m. for Public Radio Presents, this time presenting a Transom radio special. Missed the broadcast? You can hear it online any time.
