Domestic Violence Awareness event

Oct 25, 2019, 6:00 AM – 8:30 AM

In observation of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, JBLM DPFR Family Advocacy Program is presenting "Behind Closed Doors" with Susan Still (as seen on 20/20 and The Oprah Winfrey Show) at McChord Theatre on JBLM Oct. 25.

Susan Still speaks on behalf of those whose lives have been impacted by domestic violence. She is a survivor of 24 years of abuse by her former husband. Their case is unique, as in December 2004 Justice John F. O'Donnell handed Ulner Still a 36 year sentence, a landmark for New York state, as the longest sentence given for the crime of domestic violence where the victim survived. Instrumental in the conviction, was a videotape Ulner had one of their oldest son record while he was abusing Susan.
