I agree. I covered courts for many years and I knew many victims services workers. Their work is invaluable, but they're not heard by the court or the justice of the peace who's deciding bail. They're there to provide support, but they don't have a voice in the court.
If we had a lawyer who could intervene during a bail process with the justice of the peace and have an actual voice, to me that seems like a good solution.
What are your thoughts?
