Today, we'll be speaking with two members of a family no one wants to join. That found family is comprised of the members of the National Organization of Parents of Murdered Children and its local chapters. These members have each lost a child, sibling, relative, or even a friend to violence. Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio by Robert and Charlotte Hullinger after the murder of their daughter Lisa, this is an organization that seeks to unite and support those who have lost a loved one to homicide. Now, POMC advocates for victims' families and provides plenty of resources to help survivors.Given the recent circumstances surrounding the Delphi murders case, we wished to interview guests who can speak to the heartbreak, pain, and frustration that comes with losing someone to homicide. We were fortunate enough to get to talk with POMC National Board of Trustees President Connie Sheely and Vice President Lori King. Both joined POMC after losing a sibling to violence. They will share their thoughts on the leak of sensitive discovery documents and the ways the public, traditional media, new media, and parties in the case can behave with respect and sensitivity toward the victims families in this case.

How often do you get to hear what a lawyer has to say about a movie involving our legal system and one of the most high profile films of the 2022 Holiday Season? In the beginning of December, I went to see the movie She Said about the Harvey Weinstein case, with Leora Joseph. I met Leora at a wedding and one mindful conversation led to another...Lucky us - Leora was  Deputy Chief of the Family Violence and Sexual Assault Bureau in the Boston (Suffolk County) District Attorney's Office.  Over 25 years of practicing law has brought Leora's empathy and intelligence to difficult conversations with thousands of victims. She has supervised specialized units involving the most vulnerable victims - human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse, elder abuse - and oversaw all the District Attorney's special projects and community involvement in areas of intimate crimes.Since moving to Colorado, she has been the Managing Chief Deputy District Attorney, Colorado Chief Of Staff in the Office of the Attorney General for Colorado, Managing Chief Deputy District Attorney, General Counsel and now is the Director Of Behavioral Health . Phew! That is quite the experience to use to fill our minds with insight about the movie and about the "collateral consequences" facing this generation. 3 Takeaways (actually there are many, but I try and give you at least 3) from our conversation - the gist of which is that we have to be open to difficult conversations and understand that opposite ideas can co-exist:1. Accountabilty and Victims Rights. We must learn not to judge. You can't know what you would do in someone's shoes. They do what is best for them and you have to respect that.2. Speaking of respect - we must learn to respect The Constitution/Rule of Law and The Public Interest.3. Learn to understand the nuance of Free Press and what it means for what we are told, how we are told and when we are told something that matters to our every day ways of living. Please follow my blog, The MindFULL Creative.

Does mass incarceration make our communities safer? How can we better protect victim rights? What happens inside of prisons? Those are important questions that Lenore Anderson and Bill Keller address in their new books In Their Names and What's Prison For? Anderson argues that the powerful myth that mass incarceration benefits victims obscures recognition of what most victims actually need to address their trauma. Based on her national reform advocacy work and time as the former chief of policy at the San Francisco District Attorney's office and former director of public safety for the Oakland mayor, she offers her solutions on how we can close the gap between our public safety systems and crime survivors. Keller looks at our broken criminal justice system and shares what happens inside prisons and jails, where nearly 2 million Americans are held. He takes us inside to meet men and woman who are making efforts to return back to society and talks about his own experience helping educate inmates at Sing Sing as well as other programs around the country.

Jennifer Harrison on Breaking it Down with Frank MacKay - Victims Rights NY by Frank MacKay

Calls to take down abusive and harassing content is often met with apathy from the largest tech companies. As victims of this online abuse can’t wait for law enforcement to act, social platforms must step up to remove this harmful content and step out from behind Section 230’s liability shield. In Non-Compliant Podcast Episode 32, Host Jay Edelson, nationally recognized plaintiff’s attorney and Founder of Edelson PC, and Guest Carrie Goldberg, Founder of C.A. Goldberg Victims’ Rights Law Firm and author of Nobody’s Victim, discuss sexual harassment and abuse on the internet, the problems with Section 230, and why Big Tech companies need to do more to stop online predators To start the show, Carrie dives into her work to protect people who face cataclysmic online abuse, including revenge porn, cyber-stalking, sextortion, and the lasting impacts of child pornography (2:30). Carrie explains that the bulk of the harm her clients face happens on major social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat, which do little to prevent these abusive actions—often ignoring requests to take down damaging content (5:30). Next, Jay and Carrie discuss how tech companies face limited accountability for ignoring requests to remove harassing content under Section 230’s liability shield (7:30). Through the lens of one of Carrie’s cases against Grindr, she explains that the provision is getting attorneys to seek other legal theories, such as product liability, to force tech companies to take down abusive content that can ruin people’s lives (12:30). Jay and Carrie continue their discussion on Section 230 as they pivot to the power dynamics of Big Tech’s stranglehold of Congress and the courts that has cemented the online liability shield (20:00). Even with a flurry of bills to reform Section 230, Big Tech’s power to influence the debate will limit any short-term changes to the law (21:00). But the public’s shift in their views of tech companies is likely to lead judges and lawmakers to make important long-term changes to the liability shield. Later in the show, Jay and Carrie chat about the difficulties to stop online sexual harassment (30:00). Often, local law enforcement act too slow to stop abusers due to limited resources and the inability to force tech companies to remove content. Outside of the criminal justice system, abusers are often judgment proof which gives little to no value in pursuing civil claims (34:00). As Carrie explains, it is often crueler to victims to have them go through lengthy court proceedings with their abusers when the outcome is unlikely to stop the harassment. To wrap the show, Carrie explains that her experiences with revenge porn and online abuse led her to launch her own victims’ rights firm and to become a leader in the field (40:45). Carrie saw that there weren’t attorneys that had expertise dealing with all aspects of digital abuse cases and has made it her mission to protect online harassment victims that need someone in their corner fighting the fight against Big Tech’s inaction. Check out the show to hear more about Section 230, why privacy is not dead (48:50), and a preview of cases Carrie is bringing next (51:33).

In this episode, Lara Bazelon, Professor of Law and Director of the Criminal Juvenile Justice Clinic and the Racial Justice Clinic at the University of San Francisco School of Law, discusses her article (co-authored with Bruce Green, Professor of Law at Fordham Law School), "Victims' Rights from a Restorative Justice Perspective," forthcoming in the Ohio State Journal of Criminal Law this year. Bazelon begins by discussing the "essentializing" of sexual assault victims, which wrongfully presumes that victims all have the same interests as each other and the state in criminal prosecutions of sexual assault. She then discusses recent victims' rights reforms, some of which continue to essentialize victims. Bazelon then introduces listeners to a new model that may prove more useful to crime victims than the usual mode of prosecution--restorative justice. She closes by highlighting some examples of jurisdictions successfully using a restorative justice approach to victims' rights.

VICTIMS’ ADVOCATES: WHO, WHERE AND WHAT? Relatively unnoticed by the general population during the pandemic news and focus was the April observation of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. Among those who paid attention to the event were crime victim advocates, especially Anne Seymour, an advocate for 36 years. So what does a crime victim advocate do? And when did that become a thing, anyway? Seymour, who practically invented the job, started by becoming involved at a grass roots level with Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, and when she found herself in the White House watching then President Regan as he began the focus on victim’s rights, she decided this was the path she would take. And taken it she has. She Director of the Fairness, Dignity And Respect for Crime Victims and Survivors Project and is the consultant to the Pew Charitable Trusts Public Safety Performance Project. She’s developed training and assistance programs, authored books and studies and even helped develop curricula for training advocates. Join us as we discuss the concept of victims’ rights, the creation of task forces and agencies to help those affected by crime, the implementation of policy at all levels to see such help is available, and the people who have stepped forward to assist such victims. Airing for the first time, Saturday, May 6, at 11 AM Pacific Time, and available thereafter through the archive at www.blogtalkradio.com/3women3ways.

The goal of The Transparency Project is to help families who are survivors of victims of murder or suspicious death, to gain access to police records related to the investigation of the death of their loved one. This will primarily involve making sure the police agency involved is complying in full with the Sunshine or Open Records laws in effect in their particular jurisdiction. It can include filing appeals when requests for records are denied, and/or recommending changes to existing laws that are overly restrictive.

Guest Speaker: Irvin Waller speaks and advises worldwide, sharing knowledge about what reduces crime, what meets the needs of crime victims, and what gets this knowledge used. He is the author of "Less Law, More Order: The Truth About Reducing Crime", "Rights for Victims of Crime: Rebalancing Justice", and "Smarter Crime Control: The Guide to Safer Futures for Citizens, Communities, and Politicians"

In this paper the author argues that victims¹ rights are human rights. Criminal law typically views victims as witnesses to a crime against the state, thus shutting them out of the criminal justice process and only allowing them in when they are needed to testify. This is a major source of dissatisfaction for victims who seek validation in the criminal justice system. Victims are persons with rights and privileges. Crimes constitute a violation of their rights as well as an act against society or the state. While human rights instruments, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, do not mention crime victims specifically, a number of rights are identified, which can be viewed from the victim¹s perspective. As individuals with dignity, victims have the right to recognition as a person before the law. However, such rights are only meaningful if they can be enforced.
