I organized the first protest against the murderer's release nearly twenty years ago with Paul Paulsen and Patricia Almazon who are the key victim family members who have kept this memory alive. The message: the victims must always be vigilant to fight for justice! On July 12th, 2016 at CSUF in the evening, we will hold a ceremony and candlelight vigil to commemorate 40 years since the mass shooting. The public is welcome to attend from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Memorial Grove at Cal State Fullerton, 800 N. State College Blvd. For more information, call (657) 278-7295 or contact Jeanne Tran at [email protected].

In 2008 I co-authored California's Marsy's Law. I then served as the Statewide Chair and Campaign Manager for Prop 9, Marsy's Law. I am glad to see the Courts upholding this important measure that provides a comprehensive Bill of Rights to crime victims. This appellate case upheld the parole provision we wrote to extend time between hearings after a parole denial making it retroactive to inmates sentenced before the initiative's passage (ex post facto).

A federal appeals court on Monday upheld California laws approved by voters that set stricter limits on parole hearings and give the governor authority to block parole.

HUUUUUUGE VICTORY FOR CRIME VICTIMS!!! The state's high court reversed two lower courts that had ruled that great time periods between parole hearings to keep crime victims from having to repeatedly attend stressful parole hearings can and should be applied to all "LIFERS" (those who are serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole); not just those that were sentenced to prison AFTER the passage of Marsys Law. This is why I spent a year of my professional life as the STATE-WIDE CAMPAIGN MANAGER for Marsy's Law; to protect crime victims from being repeatedly re-victimized by the system that calls itself a "justice system." Crime Survivors

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The state's high court ruled Monday that a 2008 ballot measure increasing the time period between parole hearings for inmates serving life sentences applies to all so-called “lifers,” not just those sentenced after the law passed.

I was the keynote lunch speaker for the California District Attorney's Association Victim Witness Training at Chapman University School of Law on Monday. Victim Witness specialists from all over California attended the CDAA training to learn about how to best support crime victims. I lectured on the role of the Attorney Victim Advocate and our new role as lawyers in criminal cases representing crime victims. I am pleased, as the Legal Affairs Director for Marsy's Law for All, to answer any questions Victim Witness coordinators might have.
