Murder: the unlawful killing of one human being by another, especially with malice aforethought is the definition in the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. The mother of a murdered child has a different definition: "The blackest hell accompanied by a pain so intense that even breathing becomes as unendurable labor." I know; I am the mother if a murdered child.

Although crime victims were once routinely excluded from post-conviction
proceedings, they now have a voice in the courts. More than 30,000
laws have been passed in 32 states over the past 20 years that promote
