This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

For this bonus episode of ATC International, we bring you a story from the USA.

Amy B. Chesler is an award winner blogger, actress and author from Southern California. She's also the host of a podcast called "What Came Next".

She's uniquely qualified to discuss true crime, because she's suffered a lifetime of abuse at the hands of her brother, Jesse.

That abuse continues, despite the fact that he's incarcerated for the 2007 murder of their mother, Hadas.

Amy joins us today to talk about the slow build up of abusive behaviour that led to her mother's attack, and the ongoing threat her brother poses from behind bars.
