Re: Crime? if theres no law
I was part of a trial awhile back a young lady had been beaten to death in a hotel room. I spent months working on that case. Away from family to help another family find the man that murdered their daughter. We caught the guy, put him in jail, had a trial (with 12 people, not unlike yourselves making the call), he was convicted. The officers that worked the case had an entire row in the courtroom and sat behind the family for the length of the three week trial in a show of support and solidarity. That wasn't the cool part though. The cool part was when they read the verdict of guilty. Her mother wept and went down that row of police officers, hugged and thanked every one on behalf of her daughter. That is why I go to work everyday.
Here is the good news. Is that we are used to this stuff on the internet, in the paper, and even spray painted on our cars in the driveways of our homes. So when its your wife, child, or parent that has been assaulted, kidnapped, or murdered we will still come. We will still work hard. We will still give a jury all the information they need to make an informed choice. I will still sit with your family. You don't even have to hug me. That last one should last for awhile.
