The fight continues...

It's been awhile since I have updated this blog. That is not to say that the fight hasn't been ongoing.
This has been an important year for the victim's of these crimes, and it is probably only going to grow in media attention and the need to fight back.
The Supreme Court ruling excluded murderers in this round. We fully expect the lobby that supports releasing these murderers, to go back to the Supreme Court in the near future with a murder case. We will need to be prepared to fight back for the justice we were promised.
In Pennsylvania and California, members of the National Organization of Victim's of Juvenile Lifer's, along with others, testified against Bills in both states that would abolish LWOP sentences for those under 18 and also, allow the courts to re-traumatize the victim's of past crimes by offering parole hearings and potential freedom to the perpetrators. This is a cruel concept that would torture the victim's of these crimes more than they have already suffered. I'll post my testimony for the Pa. State Legislature here as well.
As the fight continues, I'm seeking more families who have been victim to these crimes. I would like to continue our victim's series by adding more posts that put a human face on the victims themselves. All too often in the debate, the humans no longer on this earth are ignored, which is unfair and unacceptable.
