But this week is also a time to thank and honor those who help is, like the district attorneys in each county how help us fight in the courtroom to get justice for us.”
“This is the only opportunity for them to get justice for their loved one,” CJ Robinson, the district attorney for the 19th Judicial Circuit, said. “If the process goes wrong, if there’s a ‘not guilty’, or something, you don’t get to do it again.”
