As much as this case examines the darker side of the judicial system it also highlights human strength and the immense power of friendship, love, and compassion – the unstoppable force behind a group of women who have fought fiercely to bring not only Nikki’s truth to light but the injustice all criminalized survivors of intimate partner violence face.
