Well, it's hard to be thankful for anything that I've gone through, but I guess I am thankful that we did have a team of prosecutors that—I think mostly because we were on them—did engage us, although you get no options of, say, plea deals or anything going on or in the stalling and the delaying.
You have no say. You have to just go with it, but there are many whom I've supported as a victim's advocate, and their prosecutors would not engage. They don't even know what's going on. They don't even know what the date is for the first court appearance.
In my experience—if you can say that anything is good about what happened to my family—we had very good prosecutors, but that is really, to be honest, quite rare.
