An Ohio mother is doused with gasoline and set on fire.
Judy Malinowski, then 31, suffered third-degree and fourth-degree burns over 90 percent of her body. She was in a coma for seven months and underwent more than 60 surgeries. Malinowski was resuscitated seven times.
She died in 2017, but not before providing three hours of recorded testimony that would be used in court against her attacker, her boyfriend, Michael Slager.
Slager initially pleaded no contest to assault and arson charges in 2016 and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. After Malinowski died, he pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life without parole.
