Still Standing: Brother’s Keeper

His sister was in a relationship with a man who had been documented choking her on surveillance footage. She stayed. Then one summer night her brother showed up and faced a man with a gun. He fired first. Police ruled it self-defense. And his sister went on social media and mourned the man her brother killed to protect her. A true crime domestic violence story about the impossible position family members are put in when they love someone who will not leave — and what strangulation really means as a lethality indicator.
