My sister's case serves as proof of a broken judicial system. A judicial system that fails to give proper justice to victims of sexual crimes. She was murdered in 2003 and til this day (2016) the killer is still on the loose. It took the DA years to issue a search warrant for him. The entire case was handled terribly. They asked all the wrong questions which insinuated that what happened was her fault. I was 10 when this happened. Thanks to the killer and the system itself I, along with my family have been forced to endure years of agony. When there's no justice there's no closure. Unfortunately, for the system it is just another Cold Case. For me it's a constant battle between hopelessness and a desire to fix the system that has shattered me. I was robbed of memories, a sister...a December that will no longer be the same.
