It's hard to stomach letting them go so easily.They could've done a video of the kids so they wouldn't have to relive it so many times,IF the great DA's office wouldn't lose it or release it. They lost my daughters transcripts after 10 yrs she had to return here from out of state{she won't live here anymore} and had to relive it anyway...On top of that she had to take off work losing time off her check,the DA's office said they would pay, but they backed out.I has "0" confidence in our locals
