Kasandra Michelle Perkins, RIP
Kasandra Michelle Perkins was a woman, a mother, a whole person, whose life was worth more than just a posthumous second-place media ride on the coattails of her famous killer.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins should not be an afterthought; her tragedy unmasks the beast of domestic violence that snuffs out the lives of women every hour on the hour.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins puts a human face to the startling statistics that approximately 70 percent of women shot to death were murdered by a lover; a husband or lover is three times more likely to kill a woman than a stranger; and that there are three women murdered every day by someone they trusted to love them.
Kasandra Michelle Perkins, may you rest in peace.
