5 Feet of Fury

When a black woman drives herself and her kids into a lake, she’s ‘distraught’; no TV movies planned

Lashanda Armstrong, 25, kept a steady job and took college classes but was abandoned by Jean Pierre — the fly-by-night father of the three dead children — and had nowhere to turn for help.

“He was terrible to her. He was very domineering and controlling over her. He was just so cruel. She just wanted a normal family.” (…) Armstrong — who had Lashaun at 15 — was also financially abandoned by Pierre, who went by the street name Prime.
