i was watching the movie last night and think she was serving a prison sentence being married to a maniac, she has suffered for to long let her go !

I THINK ENOUGH IS ENOUGH IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND U WOULD LET HIM GO

It is so sad to hear that she is still in prison I think that the time she got was to obsessive, all she was trying to do was protect her self and her child from a monster. Let the women go so she and her son can begin to heal.

the man was a devil he deserves what she did it to him

he got what he deserved, she should be paroled. She has served long enough. Hell she got more prison time than a rapist or child molester would get. I believe in an eye for an eye!

God Bless You, Donna. I feel for you. I grew up in a houshold where there was constant fear. My stepfather was a terrible alcoholic and he beat my mother not to mention the verbal abuse she had to endure. I understand how you did what you did. I know that you felt you had no choice and I don't believe you should be in prison. Dennis was an evil man and he was the one who should have served time for what he did to you. I wish you the best and hope one day you will be allowed to live a better life. God be with you and yours.

Donna, I can't begin to imagine the hurt, pain, suffering, and regret you felt , while being figuratively caged in an abusive marriage. I watched the movie, Cries unheard, on Lifetime, and i only wished that you were my sister or friend,because looking at what you went through I would have bought you a round trip ticket out of the country. I would have made sure that he never found you. Just to spare you the trouble of having to go through something so severe and dangerous. Donna, I will continue to lift you up in prayer,in hopes for your speedy release.

I do not believe in taking one's life, but I have seen women abused and the children suffer so much. Maybe she handled it wrong, but fear does funny things to people. When you can't even turn to the police for help, something is very wrong. Let her go, she's suffered enough. She needs to be there for her son who has lost her all those years.

This is a travisty. Having been in a fearful situation I would have done the same thing. The judicial system is not fair to women as is the equal pay for equal job system. Release this poor woman so she can at least have some sort of life.

I watched the movie and my heart and my prayers go out to her. I don't veiw her as a vandictive person I see her as a person who lived in constant fear for her life. and the life of her child. How would her son turn out watching that kind of abuse. I grew up in an abusive home. my dad was a raging alcoholic and my mom was beaten alot. I have seen how she felt. She doesnt deserve jail time she deserves a second chance at life. Her only true crime is falling in love with the wrong man.

I just watched the movie, and i believe donna needs a second chance murder is wrong but living in an abusive marriage for years then having to go to jail for the rest of her life also is wrong no one would have believed her if she told the cops... he was a bad cop i believe she should be out of jail and starting a new life without fear she has had enough punishment.

Just watched the movie; the fact that if Donna had pulled the trigger herself, she wouldn't be held under a 40 yr sentence...is just a small indication of the problems within our judicial system. And at the end of the film, where the statement compared the average number of years, a woman would serve compared to the average number of years a man would serve for killing their spouse themselves is quite a big difference. Why would a woman serve more time for killing her husband, compared to the time in prison a man would serve for killing his wife? Another HUGE problem within the system. Do I believe in murder.....no. Do I believe in Battered-Spouse Sysndrome, yes. And there are places that woman can run too, but when you have asked for help, ran and been dragged home, while you get beaten and people hear it, and do nothing, when your husband is a police officer on drugs, and his own co-workers wont help you because "they don't get involved in other officers personal lives"....where does one turn? Here in the year 2006, Donna may have had more alternatives, society has changed, we don't accept abusers as much any more, not like in the 70's and 80's...where no one talked about it, when there was no underground railroad for bettered woman, where their were not the amount of shelters for woman.....society ignored the problem. Donna should be released, her husband was on drugs, he threatend and abused her, should he have dien...no...but she should have been able to have a choice between her survival or his......

Donna, my prayers are with you, patty, and your son. To live in fear for so long is just heartbreaking! I pray that someone in your position today will not have to go through a horrible relationship like you have. If your case had gone to court after the 90's, you may have been a free person. Free to raise your son and be a grandmother to Patty's child. Free to live without fear. You have my support in an early parole. May God bless you and your family.

just the fact that she tried to leave him and because he was hiding behind his power of authority made it impossible for her to do anything but get rid of him but she should have done it herself

did you ever love someone and they didnt love you did you ever feel like crying and say what should i do did you ever look in their hearts and say a little prayer did you ever look in hearts and wish you were there dont fall in love my friend youll find it doesnt pay it isnt worth the broken heart it causes everyday love is fire it hurts so much if i could choose between life or death i think i would choose to die and when i say dont fall in love youll hurt before its thru you see my friend i ought to know because i fell in love with you KAREN ANN

donna should not be in prision she was abused i know what that feels like i lived in a abusvie relationship for years i would like to know where i could write to donna thank you

I think it is wrong to kill someone but I don't think that she should go to prison for so many years that they gave here just because the life that she lead when she was married to him. Because he was a very scary,terrifying man and I don't think she should had gone threw all the things she went threw. so think that they should look threw her case agin and give her a lesser senstence thank you. amy

Donna should never have went to prison! That pig got just what was coming to him. And if the cops dig deep enough they will find out he beat on his first wife! What a man.

Give her a chance of life with out fear. She was scared- yes it was wrong . . If only the first wife was able to get help- remember he was a cop - who would believe he was evil . . another cop ha

i think Donna should be paroled back then woman who lived in fear what where they supposed to do? Apparently she could not get away he would threaten her family.. also i have a son inlaw that takes steroids and he is very unpredictable it is scary. she has served long enough too long a man who will haunt her for ever. A so called cop if thats what a cop can get away with what kind of world do we live in. Donna my prayers are with her may she soon be released
