*Davetta, Rhonda and Marva– (26:46
Documentary)- Not all abuse victims are able to tell their stories.
Sometimes, it‘s just too late. These three women were killed by their
partners. Their stories are told by the loved ones who were left
behind. Remember their names:
• Davetta Roseboro (Fairfield County)
Recognizing that the man she was dating was exhibiting signs of extreme
jealousy and potential violence, Davetta broke off the relationship. On
July 21, 2003, her ex-boyfriend broke into her home and shot her as she
lay in bed sleeping with her youngest child. Her other two children
also witnessed his attack. She did not survive. His trial is still
pending. This is Davetta’s story.
• Rhonda Fleming (Pickens County)
was ambushed by her estranged-husband as she left work on May 23, 2003.
Prior to that, he had stolen her car, waved a gun in her face and
threatened to do her harm. She had taken out warrants against him in
Greenville County where they had resided as a couple, but due to the
vagaries of the legal system, authorities in her new home of Anderson
County refused to pick him up. He parked his bike several
blocks
away, waited for her, and shot her three times. He fled and later
committed suicide. She died from a gunshot wound to the chest. This is
Rhonda’s story.
• Marva Grayson (Columbia) Marva Grayson was a
newlywed, determined to make her marriage work. Friends and family were
unaware of the violence she endured at home. One argument erupted while
the couple was driving in the car. Pulling up to a service station,
Marva‘s enraged husband doused her with gasoline and then set her
aflame. Severely burned over 80% of her body, she survived for one
month before dying from her injuries. This is Marva‘s Story.
