If a strange man had hit Tracey Thurman until she bled, or had run out of nowhere and broken her windshield, or had harassed her with threatening phone calls, police would have stopped him. But because that man was her husband, they turned their heads. Until Tracey Thurman fought back. Her weapon: the brute will to take her case to federal court and prove that violent acts between domestic partners are not crimes of passion. They are simply crimes.

REMEMBER MS. THURMAN'S STORY?
Published on June 22, 1994, Article 2 of 16 found.
It won't be long before ``The O. J. Simpson Story'' appears on the living-room screens. But does anyone remember ``The Tracey Thurman Story''?

People in Connecticut remember. And so should every police department in the country. The case represented one of the law enforcers' darkest nightmares, but it also enlightened them to a problem they had long ignored. Had authorities paid more attention, perhaps Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman would be alive

VIGIL NOTES BRUTALITY OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Published on October 12, 1994, Article 3 of 16 found.
Symbolism was not necessary at Tuesday evening's candlelight vigil against domestic violence. Everywhere there were real examples of what domestic violence does to women, to children and to men.

Pasted to sheets of posterboard were dozens of newspaper articles about domestic violence. There were decorated T-shirts, prepared by those who have experienced abuse. There was the recitation of the names of the 31 people in Connecticut who have died of injuries inflicted by loved ones in the

Claudette Baril said her decision to step down as executive director of the Susan B. Anthony Project was one of the toughest of her life.
``It has been so difficult for me, emotionally, to decide to leave. I care deeply about the people here and I respect the organization so much,'' said Baril, who will enter a graduate program in midwifery at Yale University in the fall.

``I feel as though it is really a calling for me to advocate on behalf of women,'' she said.

THURMAN'S EX-WIFE SEEKS COURT ORDER TO KEEP HIM AWAY
Published on April 4, 1996, Article 5 of 16 found.
Tracey Thurman Motuzick, whose near-fatal case of spousal abuse helped strengthen the country's domestic violence laws, has applied for a restraining order to keep her former husband away from her when his probation ends April 11.

Charles ``Buck'' Thurman was released from jail in 1991 after serving seven years for nearly killing Motuzick June 10, 1983. He was sentenced in 1984 to a 20-year term, suspended after 14 years. His sentence was later reduced on appeal.

Published on April 9, 1996, Article 6 of 16 found.
Tracey Thurman Motuzick has been granted a permanent restraining order against her ex-husband, who nearly killed her 13 years ago in an attack that became a nationwide symbol of domestic violence.

Charles ``Buck'' Thurman, who lives in Easthampton, Mass., did not appear at Monday's Superior Court hearing in Litchfield. His absence, Judge Richard A. Walsh said, contributed to the ruling.

Thurman could not be reached for comment.

Thursday, the day probation ended for her ex-husband, Charles ``Buck'' Thurman, Motuzick went to the state Capitol to stump for legislation that could make it easier for more victims of domestic assaults to get the same long-term protection.

LIVING IN FEAR EVERY DAY
Published on April 19, 1996, Article 8 of 16 found.
Superior Court Judge Richard A. Walsh last week brought some degree of finality to Tracey Thurman Motuzick's 13-year nightmare. Judge Walsh took the unusual step of granting Mrs. Motuzick's request for a permanent restraining order against her abusive ex-husband.

Judge Walsh's action means Mrs. Motuzick, who was stabbed repeatedly and left partially paralyzed by Charles ``Buck'' Thurman, will be spared the trauma of returning to court again and again to keep her

Published on May 27, 1996, Article 9 of 16 found.
In his more than 20 years on the bench, retiring Superior Court Judge Walter M. Pickett Jr. has seen more than his share of the dark side of human nature.

He was the judge who sentenced Charles ``Buck'' Thurman to prison in the near-fatal beating of his wife, Tracey. Lorne Acquin, convicted in the slaying of nine people -- eight of them children -- stood before Pickett. So did other well-publicized defendants, such as William Cosgrove and Richard Duntz, each convicted of

Last week's agreement that ended the sometimes bitter 11-year tenure of Torrington Police Chief Mahlon G. Sabo brought some sense of closure, but the ramifications of this costly retirement may reverberate for years.

The settlement awards Mr. Sabo, 54, a year's salary of $61,765, a disability pension of $2,573 a month for life and family health benefits until he's 65. Mr. Sabo will withdraw his complaints against the city, and the disciplinary hearings that have cost

Well, some people DID want to know about this.
Thanks for posting this.

Tracy Thurman was a character the Nancy played in a movie. Yes, this is the FOL board but people talk about the actors themselves here from time to time too, and other things they might be doing.
I don't see anything wrong with that. Basically everyone sticks to FOL topics here, but I don't mind reading about what the actors are up to in their lives after FOL too.

:)

OK yes, it was interesting, but TJ, I have a suggestion. How about you start an Nancy McKeon board? It would keep board sizes down a bit.

HAHAHA! :rotflmao: Funny, CC:lol:

Anyway, I agree with Eva. It's nice to know about the actresses. People come on here and talk about Lisa's chats, me being one of them, and no one jumps on anybody for that. FOL was made up by the actresses who played them. We must use our imagination to know what the characters of FOL are up to now days, but we can keep up with the actresses who portrayed them. (Sorry, I know, I confused myself with that as well)

As for a Nancy board, TJ has already explained if he makes a board for one actress he will have to make one for all of them. He was totally cool to make a TD board for us, let's not push our luck;) Besides, Nancy was on FOL so we can talk about her on just like we talk about, Lisa, Mindy, Kim, Charlotte, Cloris, George, Mackenzie, Sherrie, George, Geri, or whoever! It's an FOL board. If they were on FOL then we're gonna talk about them! That's what us fans do, we just can't help ourselves:crazy:


Thanks for post that info NMK fan!

I think they can post this info because:

Tracy Thurman was played by Nancy McKeon.
Nancy McKeon played Jo a character on the FOL.
That's like saying we can't talk about a new Mary Tyler Moore movie at the Mary Tyler Moore board.

okay.. sorry i did not know people would have a cow if i told the people who were interested in the tracy therman story about what i found. i dont know why some of you are telling me this is not an fol related topic because i have read alot of postings that dont have any thing to do with fol or the people from the show. but i have to thank the people that did not jump all over me for posting this.

You know what I think this all boils down to? Well, all of the characters on FOL are popular to many people but I think the fact that Nancy has done so much more after FOL makes her stand out.(TV wise) I could say the same thing about Lisa. Look how she's sharing her "Family Dream" with us. Mindy and Kim have done great things too as well as the rest of the cast.

I LOVE watching FOL and discussing the show but I think it is important to talk about the actresses too. They are the people behind the characters we love so much. And I think that because Nancy is currently on The Division and that Lisa is working so hard to include us in her daily life makes them more popular at this time. It's hard to explain without insulting anyone.

I feel this board is for FOL fans and that talking about a movie (or something else) that a FOL actress has done is fine. It relates to the show. I personally don't want to go to 10 or so different boards to discuss Kim things, or Mindy or Lisa things.

Anyway, that's my opinion....take care all
