21-year-old Mackenzie Anderson was stabbed 78 times with her 15-month-old son present. Her ex, Tyrone Thompson broke into her home whilst he was on bail for assaulting her. Not content with terrorizing and murdering Mackenzie, Tabitha Acret, Mackenzie’s mother, shares how Thompson continued to abuse the system to terrorize Mackenzie’s family even before the trial began.

His outrageous claims of self-defense and the disturbing facts revealed for the first time in court will outrage you, compounded by the lenient sentence for what was described as an ‘unremarkable crime’ exposing a stark truth about how women’s lives are too often valued less than men’s within the justice system.

This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, accountability, and the urgent need for systemic reform.
