An Alabama woman is behind bars after allegedly murdering her boyfriend in front of his kids on August 22. Taylor Rawlins’ 9-year-old daughter called 911 and told police, “My stepmom stabbed my dad.” Jennifer Heathcoe isn’t denying she stabbed Rawlins, rather claiming she stabbed him in the chest as an act of self-defense. Heathcoe believes she “had no choice” to defend herself given their alleged history of a “violent relationship.” Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner breaks down the disturbing case.

This lawyer screamed that he was the abuser. Wow, you don't know that, but you assumed. Shame on you. She was already arrested for abuse. Let me guess you make bucks on this issue.
Poor baby girl. She will be traumatized for life with the horrific memory of her father getting murdered before her eyes. Whether man or woman, take note of the red flags and walk away. There are plenty of fish in the sea, and life goes on. It is not worth it! These tumultuous relationships never end well.
there is no evidence of it being self defense why is this lady so dead set on saying she has battered spouse syndrome, when it was THE WOMAN who has been arrested previously for abusing him. did she mishear that or something??
If people knew, then why didn’t they step up?? They also failed him.. shame
Self defense?Stop the bs ladies.I mean don't make so obvious jeez.She was already arrested for domestic violence and then had the audacity to try and make his own daughter lie about murdering her own father.Don't ever have scumbag woman on smh
Ooo those girls at the prison are gonna love that leg tattoo.
HEY LADIES ! Is this also a situation a man should “NEVERRR” put his hands on a woman 👩🏻 ????????.
Stay single men women are monsters
Women are monsters stay single men
You probably shouldn’t stab someone knowing you have a warrant for your arrest
Hello I’m am the son of Taylor Rawlins and I was with my sister in the call I said something but her phone had died it breaks my heart to see that my father has pasted away like that I hope that we get justice
Just goes to show you that everything you see on social media is not always how things really are. This man obviously loved her, by looking at his fb. They looked like a beautiful happy family.. then this. Blows my mind
What's this lawyer talking about?? She is not the victim! And if she was why did she lie & try to get his kid to lie??
Scary, this is a horror story.
This guest is unbelievable. She was clearer the abuser. Why are you coming up with a defence for her. That’s sick. If it was the other way round you would be going in on him!
Law and crime is Biased trash.
Just say DV works all the time
How is it self defense? If he was the aggressor he would overpower her from being stabbed, this seems like she had intent and waited till he least expected it.
Why is this guest so biased against men?
The real victim here is the child. They were probably both toxic. This type of toxicity just doesn’t happen over night.
She is gross!!!
😓❤️

Those couples who spend their time uploading photos of themselves in love on social media are definitely pure hypocrisy!😅😅😅
Well, the lawyer giving her opinion lost some of her credibility for me. Depp Vs Heard was NOT mutual combat! He never hit her. He wasn't perfect by any means & I believe there was mutual emotional, mental, & verbal abuse. But the physical side was ALL her.
She was the abuser, she was arrested prior to her killing him…
The woman is the murderer quit making excuses for chunky butt
