Tracey Thurman sued the city of Torrington, Connecticut for failing to protect her from her abusive husband despite numerous calls to police.

She sued the city of Torrington and received $2.3 million in damages in 1985. Tracey Thurman was the inspiration of Thurman Law which called for mandatory arrests in wife-beating cases in Connecticut and several other states. Tracy Thurman's story was later made into a 1989 television movie, entitled "A Cry for Help: The Tracey Thurman Story."
