Campaign Story
On August 9, 2017 in Davidson County North Carolina, Molly & Tom were convicted of 2nd degree murder and in less than an hour sentenced to up to 25 years in prison. We believe that Molly and Tom were acting in self defense.
On August 2nd 2015, while visiting Molly in her home, Molly's father Tom (a retired FBI Special Agent) awoke suddenly. During the events that followed, the husband died. The legal expenses have gutted the family financially. The next step is to file an appeal and fight the wrongful death suit. We desperately need your help.

It is not uncommon for the abused to be accused as murderer when she is brought to a point of self-defense. I believe you both and I'm sorry that the justice system has failed you.

As a Davidson County resident, I have been following this case from the beginning. My instincts are that they are innocent of the charges brought against them. I am glad to see a new trial is planned.

Best of luck to you both. I have a daughter who was similarly abused by a now former spouse.
