In June 2016, Dawn Rhodes arrived at her family home where her soon to be ex-husband Robert was waiting to hand over their child. But something happened that left their child and Robert with injuries and Dawn, dead.

Robert and their child said Dawn had attacked them in a jealous rage and at a trial Robert was found not-guilty of murder, instead, killing Dawn in a heroic act of self-defence.

Until their child had a conversation with a therapist years later, that changed everything.

This is REAL.
