Laurie Lee Keellogg is serving 25 years for offenses related to the death of her husband, Bruce Kellog. She was convicted in 1991. Life has been pretty
tough for Laurie, being a victim for both her husband who abused her and the justice system. I recommend you visit the official Laurie Kellogg's supporters site to learn more about her case and also how domestic violence can affect your life:

Laurie Kellogg's Letter
This is a fragment from the official site:
Full letter
"To my family and friends, loved ones and supporters:
I want to express my most heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Each of you is a blessing in my life and truly a gift from God.
I don't know all of your names or faces, but God does, and He will bless each of you for the kindness you have shown me (one of His least). Each and every prayer, email, and letter has touched my heart.
God is my rock and my salvation, but all of you are a vital source of my encouragement and inspiration. There are times when I become discouraged, and depression gnaws at my spirit. Times when I miss my family and friends so much, I've experienced physical pain as well as emotional. Times when I've felt so lost and alone that all I could pray was "why Lord?"
It's been at these times that I've received an encouraging note from someone who has faith in my innocence, and is praying for my release. It's been at these times that a woman has come to me, either in here, by mail, with a burden too heavy to carry alone, or just because they needed a friend.
In response, it's seemed as though my heart has opened up and expanded to whatever size needed to accommodate the situation. When later alone, with time to reflect upon these situations, I realized that God had once again used me; and at the time, answered my question and relieved my heart of the weight of my own burdens."
Laurie Kellog in the Media
Laurie's story has now travelled accross the globe due to the movie "Lies of the Heart: The Story of Laurie Kellogg" , with super star Jennie Garth playing Laurie.
Laurie, your story touched millions of women accross the world and hope you'll be free soon ...
This is a short comment from one of the movie reviewers:
"
This is a wonderful movie. It shows us just how venerable we as women are in our society. Our society makes us (women) dependent on our parents and men to take care of us. People who do not believe this do not live in the real world. Women do not have the same opportunities as men in the work place, etc.
I think this movie shows just how dependent Laurie was on Bruce and just how much she loved him and wanted and needed his approval. Jennie Garth did a wonderful job portraying Laurie, as did the rest of the cast portraying the other victims involved in this "crazy abuse trap". I think every young woman in their early teens should see this movie and learn early that abuse is not normal in relationships.
