Watch Silent Victim

Silent Victim is the story of domestic abuse that transcends the home into the legal system. Bonnie is a battered wife who has been struggling to have a child at the insistence of her abusive husband, Jed. Her husband's abuse and her inability to conceive culminates in her attempted suicide. Her attempt is unsuccessful, but the event reveals that Bonnie was actually pregnant and that the medication she overdosed on inadvertently aborted her child. Jed decides to sue Bonnie for the death of their unborn child. Because they live in the predominantly pro-choice state of Georgia, Bonnie becomes the center of a media frenzy. Desperate, Bonnie turns to her lawyer friend to defend her against her husband's charges.
