A Message From The Founder,
Ellen Griffin Dunne
  "The
scales of justice have gradually become weighted in the favor of
the accused, leaving the victim with no rights or representation.
We
must re-establish the idea that homicide is the ultimate offence
against humanity. Its punishment must reflect the gravity of the
crime.
Fortunately,
the majority of our membership has not had to suffer the personal
effects of a homicide in their family but they support our goals.
We
seek to educate the public as to the injustices in the present system
of criminal justice in California. Only when the people are aware
of the facts can change and reform be accomplished."

all recognize and know. And then you have to do something about
it."
