Notable Cases
In 2003 Bloch Rodwin garnered national attention following the prosecution of Ulner Lee Still. Still had physically and emotionally abused his wife, Susan Still, for many years, even forcing their children to videotape the beatings. After his conviction on multiple counts of assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Still was sentenced to 36 years in prison. At that time, that was the longest sentence in a domestic violence case that did not result in the death of the victim. Bloch Rodwin appeared twice on Oprah and on 20/20 with Diane Sawyer to discuss that case and domestic violence in general. She also appeared on Oprah to discuss the issue of marital rape.

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or cases:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)
“The world men inhabit ... is rather bleak. It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.”
—Anna Ford (b. 1943)
