Track 10: The Murder of Chiquita Tate

Chiquita Tate, 34, was a trailblazing criminal defense attorney. Even her adversaries in the courtroom could do nothing but praise her. Unfortunately, Chiquita’s personal life was a stark contrast from her reality. She constantly contemplated leaving her husband, who had a documented abusive streak. On February 19, 2009, Chiquita told her sister that she was done with her husband. That night, Chiquita, was murdered.
