Shantonio Hunter

Shantonio Hunter is a survivor of domestic violence from Nashville, Tennessee who was prosecuted by the Davidson County DA’s Office for the death of her three-year old son Elijah because she was unable to control the violence of her abuser. On September 22, 2017 she signed a plea deal for 28 years in prison. If the case had gone to trial, prosecutors planned to force her to re-witness what her abuser did to her child.
