THE ROLE OF VICTIM ADVOCATES IN ENSURING THAT CRIME VICTIMS RECEIVE THEIR RIGHTS
Riverside District Attorney Office told family of Elder Nye Frank 68 years old that Riverside County did not have a Elder Victim Advocate. Then they got a National Award for a Elder Advocate Program. I called Kim Emmerling the DA advocate and told her I could not think of one good reason she lied to us. She quit the next day. Cheif Depty Mike Rushton who also particpated in the denial of services is now promoted to a judge. The original prosecutor Daima Calhoun after threatening to arrest 72 year old Lee Frank if she continued to pursue this case left to San Bernardino. But she was allowed to close this case as exceptional, meaning not investigated. Nye Frank was brutually attacked with Judo choke holds and jumped on while passed out. The Riverside Coroner Mark Fajardo says the rupture in neck, broken ribs on both sides, and jumping on senior Nye Frank back would not cause enough damage to cause death. Also the death cert does not meet forensic guidelines. It states homicide with the cause of death natural. If you liver in Riverside and the DA is your friend it looks like you can get away with murder. Per Phil Reddish on audio Brian Floyd agrees, and Ty bends down in video to tell the sheriff how he used judo moves on Nye Frank and choked the Old guy. The two detectives share a laugh with Ty about how he killed Nye Frank. We just got a letter from the victims funds saying denied due to Nye particpating in arguing with Ty. Nye never started a fight, and never hit. Listen to audio in month of August of Phil Reddish on this blog. Press Enterprise writer boyfriend of prosecutor room mate puts false information front page of Press Enterprise 5 months after Nye's death. He had the autopsy before Lee Frank and still wrote lies. No heart attack, no fist fight. A critical role of victim advocates is to ensure that crime victims’ rights are enforced as specified under state and federal laws. Effective victim advocacy requires that victim advocates have a strong working knowledge of victims’ rights laws and how they should be implemented. Victim advocates can do the following:
- Maintain copies of all laws pertaining to crime victims’ rights in their respective state or jurisdiction.
- Update the laws yearly, adding any new amendments to existing victims’ rights laws or new laws enacted.
- Check to see if the state VOCA administrator, Attorney General’s Office, Governor’s Office, state Victims’ Rights Coalition, or other entity has compiled a list of the laws pertaining to victims’ rights. Many states now offer compilations of victims’ rights laws either online or in printed directories.
It is important for victim advocates to read the actual victims’ rights laws rather than rely on others to explain the rights. Once an advocate develops a working knowledge of victims’ rights laws, then a trusted prosecutor, judge, or other legal professional can help the advocate understand the nuances of the law.
It is important for advocates to determine whether the law specifies timeframes for implementation of certain rights, such as timely notification, and to have a working knowledge of the justice agency responsible for implementing the right. Some state laws do not specify who should be responsible for implementing the right. In this case, advocates should find out what agency (or agencies) in their state or community is taking on the responsibility of implementing the right.
