Review of Cries Unheard: The Donna Yaklich Story

This true story shocked me with the fact that women are given longer prison sentences than men for killing. Women receive 40 years for killing a husband and men get from 2 to 6 years. WHY IS THAT? The same goes for the wages that men receive over the years, vs women. Jackie Smith(Donna Yaklich) gave an excellent performance in her acting as Donna Yaklich. Brad Johnson (Dennis) made you hate him beyond words, the way he treated his wife. However, there is always a better way to solve a problem in a marriage when the husband becomes a Frankenstein.(even if he is a policeman) Having someone kill for you is no solution to any problem and only makes matters worse. Having to sit in a jail cell for 40 years and think about your horrible decision is WORSE! Donna Yaklich should have screamed HELP, while her husband was busy lifting his WEIGHTS!
