Hilary Swank: Patty Yaklich

Quotes 

• Patty Yaklich : [during the murder trial, tearfully]  Donna was Dennis's slave. At one point, she told me she was going to kill herself, and she just couldn't go on living anymore. She said she was scared to do anything in fear that Dennis might react. I mean, it was like walking on eggshells in that house. One day, everything was okay, and then the next day, the TV would be up too loud, and Dennis would get so mad. And she was just tired of living that way

  Public Defender : Did she seem scared or frightened?

  Patty Yaklich : Yes, she did.
