We were very moved by the recent HBO documentary "Every F*ucking Day of My Life", the story of an Oregon woman, Wendy Maldonado and her son who are currently in prison for killing her extremely abusive husband. 

The judge in her case was restricted to sentencing guidelines which will keep her in prison and away from her other children for many years, even though she killed her husband as a last resort- clearly it was only a matter of time before he would have killed her. 

Has there been any change in the law that would get Wendy Maldonado out of jail?

P.S. her story would be an excellent topic for your show-db
