On June 17, 1987, at 10:32 p.m., a call was received at the 911 service of the Metropolitan
Police Department in Washington, D.C. The female caller said, "I just shot my husband," and gave the
address as 1799 Lamont Street, N.W. Detective Sal Palmer responded to the call and reached the house
at 10:38 p.m.
Detective Palmer met Martha Monroe at the door. Mrs. Monroe led the Detective to a bedroom
upstairs. When Detective Palmer entered the bedroom, he saw a fully clothed man, later identified as
George Monroe, Martha Monroe's husband, lying face down on the bed covered with a light blanket.
The blanket had three bullet holes in it, and several blood stains.
Detective Palmer ascertained that the man on the bed was dead, and asked Mrs. Monroe who
he was and what had happened. She responded "I shot my husband," and pointed to the dresser near
the bed on which was a revolver. Detective Palmer read Mrs. Monroe her Miranda rights, and placed
her under arrest.
Later, at the station, Mrs. Monroe waived her right to counsel and to remain silent. Detective
Palmer questioned her, after which he wrote up a statement. Mrs. Monroe signed it. The prosecution
charges Mrs. Monroe with the First Degree Murder of her husband, George Monroe [D.C. Code, Sec.
22-2401].
Martha Monroe admits that she shot her husband, but now, through her attorney, asserts that
the she acted in self defense. Mrs. Monroe now claims that for the entire time of her marriage to
George Monroe she has been the victim of severe and continual physical and emotional abuse from

him; she says the last time he beat her he almost killed her. She claims that because of this abuse she is
suffering from Battered Woman Syndrome, and that she shot her husband because she had a
reasonable belief that even though her husband was asleep, her life was in imminent danger. She
claims she had no choice but to kill him.
What happened on June 17, 1987, at 10:32 p.m.?
Who came to the place of the crime? What did he find?
Who is the defendant?
What did Martha Monroe say to Detective?
What did she claim later? How did she explain her action?
