Annie Bowles is advocating for the release of April Wilkens, who was given a life sentence for killing her stalker in an act of self-defense. Annie is striving to bring attention to the issue of criminalized survivorship and is pushing for the passage of the Oklahoma Survivors Act. This legislation aims to help survivors of domestic violence by allowing evidence of abuse to be presented during trials to potentially reduce their sentences. During the second half of this episode, we will be sharing parts of an interview Annie conducted with April in prison, allowing her to share her own story. **The following episode of Strictly Stalking contains graphic language and topics including sexual assault, domestic violence and homocide.
