Marcia Thompson shot her husband at least six times while he lay on the couch in his underwear in their Florida home. Prosecutors said it was murder, but she claimed it was self-defense.

A U.S. Customs Agent, Marcia was getting ready to leave the house for work. That morning was no different than many others before it. Terry Thompson fired a barrage of insults and death threats toward her and their children. But this time, Marcia Thompson had enough.

She took her service weapon and shot the husband she had known since college to death. Terry was 13-years her senior and the father of their children, but he was also the man who Marcia said spent decades demeaning and assaulting her, physically and sexually, until in fear for her life, she put an end to the abuse and to him.
