In the 33 years that have passed since the murder of his son, Tom, Ralph has talked to many others who have lost a loved one to murder, and he can unequivocally say that those victim survivors are not vigilantes and are not obsessed with seeking revenge. They simply were seeking hope that they would receive justice as the killers of their loved ones were receiving. They remain decent, law-abiding citizens who are now forced to deal with their grief and emotions day to day. They quickly learn through attending the many criminal trial proceedings that the justice system is stacked against them. This book seeks to educate them about what to expect as they journey through the system.
