Domestic violence strikes men; woman works in memory of slain brother

'Women are not the only victims of domestic violence.

Lisa Moore knows this from personal, painful experience.

Her brother, 45-year-old Randy Ferguson, was shot to death by his wife five years ago, bringing a terrible end to years of constant verbal and emotional abuse.

"I watched my brother suffer in shame for years," Moore said. "It was hard for me. I introduced my brother to her. They seemed to have it all together in the beginning, but I quickly learned I had made the biggest mistake of my life. ... She was controlling, manipulative and jealous."

And violent.

Although physically half her husband's imposing size, Angela Ferguson's relentless harassment psychologically and emotionally reduced the man to nothing, Moore recalled. Beaten down, his self-esteem crushed, he watched all his hopes for salvaging his marriage crash in dust, smoke and ruins.

It all ended in 2006 when the enraged woman shot Randy twice in the head at point-blank range at their South Hill home. The wife was later convicted and is serving 26 1/2 years in prison for murder.'
