Judy Malinowski the slain Ohio mother-of-two testified against ex-boyfriend #MichaelSlager in his 2018 murder trial.
Clinging to life on a hospital bed with burns covering 95% of her body, an amputated arm that had been scorched to the bone and bolts of pain visibly wracking her frame, Malinowski, then 33, told the courts via video that Slager had doused her in gasoline and set her on fire during an argument on Aug. 2, 2015.
“Evil. Just completely evil,” says Malinowski of Slager in her pretrial deposition. The 3-hour attestation was recorded just five months before she died due to complications from the burn on June 27, 2017.
She became one of the first people in the U.S. to posthumously testify in their own murder trial.
Shortly after her passing, Slager, who was facing the death penalty, entered a plea of guilt in her murder.
The judge agreed and ordered Slager to serve life in prison without parole.
