The Princess Bride and The Predator: My True Terrifying Story - Murder or Manslaughter (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780998278452)

"I couldn't have planned it better; he came at me, I closed my eyes and started shooting and didn't stop until the gun clicked empty, see you in hell."Escaping from pedophilia, sexual and mental abuse; my name is Gloria De Laurentis, I was going to be Patrick De Laurentis' Princess Bride and he was going to be my "Knight in Shining Armor." I could tell just by the way he smiled at me and kept checking me out; an imagination can be dangerous. I always looked older for my age, I dressed the part. I had boobs, a nice butt and I think I looked sexy for my age. I really liked all the attention I received from him. During that first year with Patrick he took dozens of nude photos of my friend, and myself. Patrick tried to make it fun. We all drank a little wine, as he tried to be artistic, having us wear makeup, our hair pinned up, lying on a bed of roses. Most of photos where just pornographic, a couple twelve-year-old-girls, spread eagled on a bed with whipped cream on our vaginas. After fifteen years, starting with pedophilia, drugs, to rape, physical and mental abuse, I snapped. If you think your last resort is to kill your abuser, read my story and you tell me If I committed murder or manslaughter. It's hard to kill someone you unconditionally loved. On March 12, 1991 I was arraigned and was charged with Second-Degree Murder and faced twenty-five years in prison. Documents, within this story, presented by Lisa Schreibersdorf, describe how over the past years the courts and society have traditionally treated women differently than men regarding abuse and rape by husbands. It was my case and the document presented that changed the way the courts and juries make their decisions. Guilty or Not Guilty? The sad truth is many women who killed their abusive husbands and boyfriends were convicted of murder and went to prison or to mental institutions. I hope my story will help set you free.10% of all royalties go the following charities: childhelp.org, preventchildabuse.org & hopeforchildrenfoundation.org
