2/ “Ms. Montgomery has bipolar disorder, temporal lobe epilepsy, complex post-traumatic stress disorder, dissociative disorder, psychosis, traumatic brain injury and most likely fetal alcohol syndrome.”
3/ “Ms. Montgomery’s male attorneys failed to offer a comprehensive picture of her decades of torture… And the severe cognitive impairment she suffers today is a direct result of those crimes.”
4/ “Systems failed her again and again. Child protective services failed her, the education system failed her and law enforcement failed her.”
