Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome to all of our witnesses here today.
Ms. Hancox, thank you for coming. I know this was difficult, and I really appreciate your presence here at this committee on this particular bill.
Throughout your opening remarks you talked about being part of the process with respect to parole hearings and the justice system, leading up to just recently. Why do you feel it's important to be able to attend parole hearings to be part of that process to speak on behalf of your husband? Why is it so important to be part of that as a victim?
