Luncheon honors victims of crime




The Hamilton County Coalition and eight other local organizations and agencies hosted the annual Victims’ Rights Luncheon at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church Tuesday to honor the victims of crimes and those who advocate on their behalf. Above, U.S. Attorney William Killian, Eastern District of Tennessee, provides opening remarks for the community-sponsored event. “Justice is for the victims as well as the perpetrators. When we say justice for all, we mean it,” he said. “We must mobilize to meet the next set of challenges and think of new ways to extend our services to those who need them,” he said, speaking to those people and agencies whose job or mission involves advocating for victims of crime.
