Plymouth State University Speaking Engagement

On 4/6/2016, I speak to the Criminal Justice students at Plymouth State University.  It is a privilege to speak to those that will one day be our future in the judicial system in some way.  I strive to impact them with Kathy’s story.  I hope as they move forward in their lives they will always remember her and the fact that tragedy if survived, can be used to make positive changes.

I emphasize these three things.

1.  What you say and do will affect a victim’s family for the rest of their lives.  In a positive or negative way.
2. Murder follows a family and oftentimes a community for the rest of their lives. A few of the ways this happens is through grief, investigation, reactivations, trials, appeals, the media.
3. You can make a difference.  Don’t underestimate what one person can do.  Don’t sit back and be a spectator, get involved.   I don’t believe we are on this earth to serve self.  Make laws, change laws, donate your time to a worthy cause.  Be passionate, care about something!
