    “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.

    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.

      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.

The pain was similar to burns because my skin was scraped almost to the bone. It was the worst pain I ever felt. As I look at Judy, with burns all over her body, the agony she had to be in is incomprehensible to anyone. This young lady, was a warrior beyond words.

    I once had a girlfriend who was divorced from an abusive man. 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. Sad, all these years later.

      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.

      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.
