About this listen

Deborah Dobbs takes listeners through two brutal cases she worked as a victim advocate. Both cases involved domestic violence and sexual assault with the same victim and perpetrator but different jurisdictions. The cases shine a spotlight on the lack of control victims (and suspects) have over the key players in the process, from the responding officers and detectives to prosecutors and judges. This episode exposes the complexities and challenges victims and their advocates face within the criminal justice system.
