Judy Malinowski could not walk into a courtroom, but investigators still preserved her account of the attack that would eventually become a murder case. After surviving a 2015 gasoline attack in Ohio, she spent nearly two years in the hospital. Before her death in 2017, prosecutors recorded Malinowski's testimony about her former boyfriend, Michael Slager. The recording became the center of a legal fight over whether a dying victim's evidence could be presented to a jury. The video follows the hospital interview, the courtroom challenge, and the conviction that followed. If you enjoy evidence-led cases where the investigation changes courtroom procedure, this story is for you.
