Tanya Brown on domestic violence and remembering her sister | Forensic Files

there are two two families that are affected by this that will never be the same and I think people forget that and
because they only think about the case and they only think about the trial of the last century we need to talk about
Ron we need to talk about Nicole she was a mom she would get the kids ready for school she'd packed their lunch I was
just really getting to know my sister as like an adult I want people to understand that this just was not a
murder case this was a domestic violence case that eventually took my sister's life and sadly Ron was just really just
at the wrong place at the wrong time domestic violence just doesn't affect the victim it affects families that
affects co-workers it affects your workforce it affects people like Ron who tried to save my sister
so yeah he's a hero in my eyes I think Nicole is the face of domestic violence if it can happen to her
somebody of that stature somebody of that beautiful it can happen to anyone
