Miscarriage of Justice: A Hampton Roads woman and a local actor recently won a courageous activist award. Gina Dobson entered a guilty plea in 1998 to a crime she did not commit. After years of abuse, she left her abusive ex-boyfriend with their child, and the ex told police he was afraid she would kill their child, referencing an abortion she had years earlier. Without any evidence, police arrested her and charged her with murder, transporting her from Virginia to Illinois. After a few months in jail, she took a plea for a lesser charge for the crime she did not commit to avoid her child being given to her abuser. Her story will air at 6 p.m. Monday on WAVY-TV 10.
