Survivor Elizabeth Hudson shares her harrowing story of domestic violence and the shocking failures of the justice system that followed. After narrowly escaping a life-threatening knife attack by her ex-husband in 2021, Elizabeth faced nearly two years of systemic failures, delays, and errors that prolonged her trauma.
In this conversation with Debbie, Resolute’s Founder and CEO, Elizabeth reveals how police mishandling, court adjournments, and administrative errors repeatedly failed her – and ultimately allowed her ex-husband to attack another woman while awaiting trial.
