Attorney Regina Ward discusses the case of Micah Francis, whose death sparked the Netflix documentary *The Death of the Pastor’s Wife*. Ward details John Paul Miller’s coercive control, including financial manipulation and threats, and recounts her strategy to record his manipulative calls after Micah’s passing. She argues that South Carolina’s archaic laws fail to protect victims of non-physical abuse, emphasizing the urgent need for updated coercive control statutes and emergency restraining orders to prevent femicide.
