The Framingham Eight

Description

Out of the bedroom and into the headlines went the stories told by eight battered women who fought back from domestic abuse and ended up in prison. Claiming their actions were in self-defense, the "Framingham Eight" challenged the system for a chance at a new life. This ABC News program asks Did the abuse they suffered in any way justify what they did? And did any of the women deserve a second chance?
