Whats New at OVC

The National Center for Victims of Crime has launched VictimLaw, a comprehensive, online database of state, federal, and tribal victims' rights laws, developed with funding from the Office for Victims of Crime. VictimLaw is a unique and groundbreaking resource, offering user-friendly access to more than 15,000 victims' rights statutes (state and federal), tribal laws, constitutional amendments, court rules, and administrative code provisions. Future additions to the database will include state attorney general opinions and summaries of court decisions related to victims' rights.

Dear Forum,

I apologize for not getting this post up earlier. I've got the flu and I've been moving in slow motion for about a week now.

Bless each of you.

Justice for Janet and her Angel baby!
Bless her family and friends
who never stop looking for clues
who never stop believing in a loving God
who never lose faith in their love for each other
and who have begun to reach out others.
~!~
Justice for Janet!
