Summary

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.

0:04.0	We know how isolating it can be when you've been stalked.
0:07.0	So we're starting our own little online community where we can chat about stocking,
0:11.0	relationships, or life in general.
0:14.0	We'll have monthly Q&A sessions where you can ask us anything that's on your mind.
0:18.4	You can ask for advice, ask about past episodes, or you can even ask Jake what his middle name is but I doubt

0:59.2	Get down here, the man screamed at him.
1:01.6	George Harrison shouted the first thing that came into his head.

1:13.6	George tried to grab the knife and after a brief struggle they both fell onto a heap of
1:17.2	meditation cushions.
1:19.5	And Madonna's stocker, who ended up shot by her security guard during a life or death fight in her Los Angeles home.
1:26.7	The first one, and no doubt, the most violent, is Robert Dewey Hoskins.
1:31.2	Not too much is known about his childhood other than it was horrific and set him up for a life of drugs, jail, and mental illness. Hoskins was born into an extremely abusive family in 1954. He was routinely beaten by his father who often used a bull whip on it.
