Yeah.

But we do.

Yeah.

Every single day over and over again.

Yeah.

People are let out.

Let out on bail, let out on parole.

We've got to do something better.

We have to.

Because how many people have to die before we decide that the system isn't actually working?

I know a little bit controversial to what a lot of people think about the courtroom being more victim focused.

I think I fall into the category of that makes me concerned that then are we moving into who's the perfect victim?

Like when you're starting to put photos there and you're starting to, like I know with your family member, you're always putting forward they were, you know, in the prime of their life, they were this and that, but then don't we want justice also for the, you know, the sex worker that's addicted to drugs on the street?

I want her to get the same justice that I get.

And I find sometimes already in media we have that kind of,

If you are the perfect victim, if you come from the right family, if you look a certain way, that's my concern.

Is that then going to sway the jury depending on how you look, how people represent you, what your family says about you, or if you are just the grumpy old man who lives down the street that has no family?

I think that...

Once you start bringing more victim-focused, then you're kind of starting to get into that territory.

Because as a victim, the court's not about me.
