The upcoming trial of Bryan Kohberger, accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, has brought renewed attention to the profound and lasting impact violent crimes have on victims' families.

The loss of a loved one to a violent crime is an unparalleled tragedy that leaves families grappling with intense grief, anger, and confusion. The prolonged nature of legal proceedings, as seen in the Kohberger case, often exacerbates these emotions, leading to feelings of frustration and helplessness.
Karen Laramie, mother of Madison Mogen—one of the victims in the University of Idaho case—expressed her dismay over the delayed trial, stating that the legal system often overlooks the needs of victims' families. Her sentiments resonate with many who find themselves navigating a complex and, at times, indifferent legal landscape.
