OWN continues to tell dramatic and important stories through their OWN documentary club. With the addition of “Crime After Crime”, viewers will get the opportunity to examine the intense legal battle to free Debbie Peagler, a battered woman who was imprisoned for over 25 years for her connection in the murder of her abuser. This documentary is sure to open our eyes a bit wider to a very important topic, domestic violence. This isn’t the first time that OWN has delved into women who are victims of domestic violence imprisoned for killing their abusers and I am glad to see them talking about it again. Once again….a fantastic pick by the Oprah Winfrey Network.
