This week we talk with senior partner Danielle De Smeth about her role in the trial of Jane Laut, who was accused of murder in the killing of her husband Dave Laut in 2009. The case brought up the painful reality of domestic violence, psychological control, and justice for women who defend themselves and their children from their abusers. Danielle shares the emotional toll the case brought upon Jane, her family, and the lawyers who defended her at trial, and offers ideas about the larger issues faced by abused women in the American legal system.
