Do this in remembrance
Remembering Jayland Walker Today marks two years since the tragic death of Jayland Walker, who was taken from us far too soon. On this day in 2022, Jayland was fatally shot by Akron Police, a horrific event that left our community reeling and sparked widespread demands for justice. Jayland was fired upon excessively, over 90 times, an act that underscores the urgent need for reform and accountability within our law enforcement system. The Akron Urban League stands with Jayland's family, friends, and the entire community as we continue to mourn his loss. We remember Jayland not just as a victim, but as a human being whose life was cut short. In the wake of this tragedy, our community came together, marching and raising our voices to demand justice for Jayland. While the pain of his loss is still felt deeply, our resolve to fight for justice and systemic change remains stronger than ever. Let us honor Jayland's memory by continuing to advocate for a future where such tragedies are no longer a reality. We call upon our leaders, our law enforcement, and our community to work together to ensure that justice is served and that meaningful change is achieved. Rest in power, Jayland Walker. You are not forgotten. #JusticeForJayland #AkronUrbanLeague #SayHisName

🐾 Therapy dogs in courtrooms – an innovative approach to making justice more compassionate. In some U.S. states, these specially trained dogs accompany vulnerable witnesses, especially children, offering comfort during their testimony. The goal? To reduce trauma and help witnesses share their stories more effectively. But not everyone agrees. While many applaud these dogs' emotional support, some raise concerns about potential jury bias. Could their presence sway emotions unfairly, or is this a step toward a more humane justice system? What do you think? Can therapy dogs balance compassion and fairness in court? Let’s discuss it! 🐶⚖️ #LawAndEmpathy #CourtInnovation #TherapyDogs

Founder of Tyme to Thrive Beyond Grief. Advocating for survivors fuels my passion. My mission is centered on forging a world where the aftermath of losing a loved one to gun violence is met with support, not suffering.
Did you know ? 🔆 The top 10 states with the weakest victim compensation laws are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming. These states often have more restrictive eligibility criteria, lower benefit caps, and longer processing times for victim compensation claims. Factors contributing to these deficiencies include limited funding, less robust victim advocacy programs, and varying legislative priorities. Consequently, victims in these states may face greater challenges in accessing the financial assistance they need for recovery. #TymetoThrive #SupportSurvivors

A bone of contention emerges over America’s courthouse dogs Interesting article about how the use of trained therapy dogs or courthouse dogs has been on the rise, with over 320 dogs currently working in courthouses across the U.S. Some states have passed laws explicitly allowing the use of these dogs in courtrooms, while others are still debating the issue. These courthouse dogs are often employed to provide comfort and support to witnesses, especially those testifying in emotionally challenging cases such as those involving crimes or trauma. However, some defence attorneys argue that the presence of dogs in courtrooms is disruptive and can bias jurors in favour of alleged victims, potentially influencing trial outcomes. I'm wondering if there is also a role for these pups to help encourage more open and cooperative testimony from expert witnesses? https://lnkd.in/gVU-Fuhf
