Today On 'Anderson' -- Abusive Husbands, Killer Wives

Wives Who Kill Abusive Husbands

Tuesday, April 03, 2012

Anderson speaks with Barbara Sheehan, the Queens resident who shot her retired cop husband 11 times with two guns. She was recently found not guilty of the fatal shooting, but faces five years in prison on a gun possession conviction, and is currently out on appeal.

For the first time, Barbara talks about enduring years of abuse, and shares what really happened that fateful morning.

Plus, Anderson speaks with a woman who is currently serving 15 years in prison for killing her husband. Find out why she said she had no choice.

And Criminologist Dr. Casey Jordan, HLN's Jane Velez-Mitchell, and two audience members join Anderson for a panel discussion about Barbara and women who face domestic abuse.

Since the show...

Barbara's attorneys have been working on her appeal. She says she's grateful for all the support her family has received, but she's still having trouble finding a job.
