Episode 120 - Sophie Elliot

  • Summary

  • On January 9th, 2008, 22 year old Sophie Elliot was attacked in Dunedin, New Zealand by her ex-boyfriend. He would later try to use a 1961 law aimed at protecting victims of domestic abuse to get his crime reduced from murder to manslaughter. News of the violent murder and the use of the law sparked outrage in the low-crime country and the outcome of the trial contributed to changes in New Zealand law and an attempt by police to teach young people about toxic relationships. Listen along as we break down our 12th international episode with the tragic murder of a promising young woman. Music by Gioele Fazzeri from Pixabay.
