    “She hung on for me, her girls, and for justice”
    August 2nd, 2015, Gahanna police receive a frantic 911 call from a Speedway gas station, that a woman is set on fire. As she is rushed to the ER, her boyfriend tells a bizarre story that she caught on fire while lighting a cigarette. No one expects her to survive, with a 110% mortality rate, but 7 months later, she miraculously wakes up. Only she can tell the truth of what really happened to her. This is the unforgettable story of Judy Malinowski, the girl who testified for her own murder and brought justice onto her own killer.

      I think it's possible that they could not adequately prove intent. It seems obvious now after we've heard Judy's testimony, but to charge him and not be able to prove it and have a jury find him not guilty of that charge could mean they couldn't take other actions later.

    I was burned over 40% of my body as an 11 year old kid. It was and remains the single most excruciating experience of my life. The healing and the experience of being on fire has no words to describe, and while mine was an accident it was caused by someone else and I nearly died. How someone can do that intentionally is a sort of evil I hope to never encounter in my life. I am so incredibly sad for this sweet Angel to have experienced that pain ❤ it’s not a pain I’d ever wish on even my worst of enemies.

      @@MinuteMirror yes, I know what you mean. That is how it started. The first time it happened, we had been married for almost a year. And I was so shocked. I just looked up and saw a stranger with flat, empty eyes. This was a person who adored me. He treated me like a princess. And he was always such a gentleman. Then he just turned like a switch. But he was so horrified the next day. I thought it was an aberration. It didn't happen again until our son was 4 months old. I was suddenly standing in the room with a stranger again and he was so hateful and cold. He threw me across the room, so hard I went through a chair and hit the wall and it flipped on top of me. Then he pulled me out and slammed me into the wall so hard the drywall cracked. All with no emotion and a sort of sneer. As though he were doing some repugnant chore in which I had forced him into. I remember laying there in shock, waiting for morning. Waiting until he left, so that I could leave. But he woke me up, crying. This tough guy that never cried. He didn't know what he had done. That brand of wine he was drinking had done something to him. He would rather die than hurt me. And I slowly stopped packing and listened. Of course it was a weird reaction to a chemical. He would never hurt me. And he didn't for another year. But it always did happen again. And I was always surprised. I left once after 7 yrs and he took classes and told me he would never drink again. I waited a year to go back. When I did , he was perfect for about 4 yrs. But it happened again. My two teenage sons kicked down the door and caught him strangling me and backed him out of the house with a baseball bat . My 13 yr old told me he slept with a hatchet and was terrified of not hearing anything and waking up to find me dead. So I left him, after 18 yrs. I really left him, because I was hurting my family by trying to save him. That is when he got really bad. When I said no, I won't and I can't go back. That is when his eyes turned black. When he was holding a knife to my throat and telling me how he was going to cut up my face so that no one would ever want me. When he put a bag over my head and everything was going dark and I thought I can't believe he has actually killed me. He would still call me later and say he never would have. But we found out, he had dug a grave behind the house. 18 yrs and 3 kids later, when I should have left the first time, 6 months after we were married.

    She did it. She was lit on fire, and was quite literally being put to death, but she still didn't believe in putting the man who did it do death as well. She passed a law to save other victims, knowing it would not save her case, and yet she still did everything she could to help. With every single second of her life from then on, she fought everything. being in a coma, suffering burns, probably many organ failures though I am not going to look for it, she died 7 times, and kept fighting. And in the end, she did it.
    I am not embarrassed to say I cried. I do not feel weak for shedding tears. I feel empowered by Judy's sheer will to live. I feel loved simply from thinking of Judy. I may never have known her, but Judy will forever help me. So many people stay strong despite all odds against them. I hold these people in my heart. I may not change the world, I may not live a significant life, I may not effect much. But for what it's worth, I still try. I may not be an amazing person well known for anything. But that will never stop me from doing amazing things. Again, I never knew Judy, But with what I can do, I will fight to help her cause. I may not have much money to donate, But I have all the words my breath can say. We all do. No matter how quiet you feel, No matter what stands in your way, You can still say something. Not all of us can say something literally, But all of us can sure as hell say something with our actions.
    We all can say something. Even if you try and fail, The fact that tried in the first place says all it needs to say. If you try to help, your trying is enough. Not all of us are strong enough to climb the whole metaphorical staircase, Not all of us are strong enough to even set foot on the first step. But all of us have strength in one way or another to lift our feet and try.
    So next time I look up at the flight I have to climb, I'll just look at the first step and think of Judy. I've already climbed some steps, and I know I will climb many more. And with every step I take, I have even more reason to keep climbing.
    I am so proud of Kaylyn, of Madison, of Bonnie, of David, of Danielle, of Patrick, of Dan, of Sue, of Nicholas, of Joseph, of Mark, of Patricia, of her family, and I am so very truly proud of Judy.
    Stay awesome, stay kind, and take a few sips of water. You deserve it, every single one of you.

About four months into the relationship she says he's gone through rehab, is in counseling for anger management, and she says she still loves him. Six months later the headline reads:: "Woman bludgeoned to death on her wedding night." He had gotten drunk at the reception, and accused her of flirting with one of his friends. The friend would testify at his trial claiming she came on to him. So instead of murder the guy gets 12 years for manslauter. The previous records of abuse were not allowed as evidence.

      How would her coming on to another man make a difference. That would only establish that was his motive. It should not have affected it being murder. I am not sure how they managed that. He still had the intent of unaliving her and did so. Her actions of even cheating would not have made it not redrum.

      There was a guy in Texas a few months ago who executed his wife on video and only got like 20 years because sHe cHeATed oN hIM. This country (and really the entire world) doesn’t give a shit about domestic violence. Like hmmm what a great “man”/murderer, I couldn’t possibly understand why she would want to cheat on him, not that that justifies death anyways.

      The sad thing is that attempted murderers usually get less than 17 years, or even less than 11 years. Depends on if it's first degree or second degree, most states for second degree seem to be under 10 years of jailtime. So he would argue that it wasn't premeditated, that he poured gas on her but didn't expect it to kill her and such. So they would have to prove that he had been planning this and expected that it would kill her. But they can easily prove that he intended to disfigure her and the sentence is more than second degree attempted murder. I could be wrong, but that is at least my reading of the situation.
