All Alaskans need to let their lawmakers know that they want the protection of the new crime lab. It is the foundation of our justice system. Juries expect scientific proof of a crime. We can't get convictions without the scientific proof. Let's make sure the new crime lab funding ($75 million) in the Governor's budget is approved. We can't afford any more delays. What is more important in the state's responsibility than protecting the innocent. Call your lawmakers and let them know you support the funding for the new crime lab.
Victims and families need to make sure that the CRIMINAL Justice system becomes more balanced and starts protecting the innocent, not just the guilty. Please help us balance the scales of justice. Don't wait until you are a victim to find out how broken the system is. Take 5 minutes to call your lawmakers or drop them an email to support funding for our new crime lab. It will save lives and prevent a lot of crimes by getting the criminals off our streets sooner. Juries expect scientific proof to convict the predators in our society. 5 minutes of your time is all I'm asking for; it will make a difference in our justice system.
