\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

When a case does not receive a complete and competent law enforcement investigation, it is truly devastating. I have worked with many co-victims across the country, and sadly, this happens everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes it is due to a lack of enthusiasm. Sometimes it is because mistakes were made early in the investigation, and officials try to cover up that incompetence. Sometimes it is done to keep crime statistics down. Sometimes\u2014yes, this really does happen\u2014it is to protect someone who has connections to law enforcement. There are many reasons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even when mistakes occur, they are sometimes hidden to avoid accountability. Then the cover-up of the mistake becomes another problem, and the cover-up of the cover-up grows even worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go figure. I guess the victims don\u2019t matter, and the fact that these failures can leave a murderer walking the streets is somehow considered acceptable.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0https:\/\/aequitasresource.org\/<\/a> <\/strong>– AEquitas advances justice in cases of sexual violence, intimate partner violence, stalking, and human trafficking by equipping prosecutors and their multidisciplinary partners with the training, expertise, and strategies to hold offenders accountable and deliver fair, effective justice for survivors.\u00a0We’re a team of former prosecutors and multidisciplinary experts who have decades of experience and specialized expertise, working globally to hold offenders accountable and promote victim safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

AEquitas <\/span><\/span>explains it this way:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cTypically, the perpetrator harasses and attacks the victims and the victim\u2019s family. Often, the offender\u2019s family members and friends attack as well (they say, \u2018Don\u2019t snitch to others\u2019). When members of the criminal justice system do not respond appropriately to intimidation and fail to correct system deficiencies that enable opportunities to intimidate, they become inadvertent accomplices to the intimidators. The victim, victim\u2019s or witness\u2019s immediate family, including spouses, children, and pets, become targets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is exactly what happened during the stalking. A detective attempted to speak with the main suspect, but he moved out of the house where he was living to avoid the sheriff\u2019s department. When the detective went to the suspect\u2019s workplace, the suspect\u2019s father threatened the deputies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deputies asked the father to bring his son in for questioning. Although the suspect was over 18, his father eventually brought him in. They insisted he was innocent and threatened to sue. The sheriff\u2019s department backed off.<\/span><\/p>\n

After our daughter was killed, the second suspect and her father even took us to court because of my blog, morgansstalking.com. They were able to obtain free legal assistance to continue harassing us, while we were forced to spend thousands of dollars on an attorney we could not afford.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, they lost\u2014but we were still left paying the price. We already paid the highest price imaginable\u2014we lost our daughter. Yet, we were still forced to defend ourselves simply for speaking the truth and seeking justice for her. That is the reality many victims\u2019 families face. <\/span><\/p>\n

We grieve, we fight, and we refuse to be silent while failures in the system allow dangerous people to remain free. Silence protects the wrong people. And as long as we have a voice, we will keep using it.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
