Warning: the following in-depth reporting from CalMatters.org depicts the heartbreaking story of Calley Garay, a mother of three and victim of domestic violence.
Calley Garay's husband, convicted in October of shooting her to death as she was shielding her children, was sentenced today to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The leadup to her murder is something that Brady supporters have heard--and even experienced--all too often. This article illustrates the terror that many women feel when their estranged abusers have a gun. Reader discretion advised.
