On Thursday at #Eurocrim23, I will be presenting an analysis of the portrayal of victims in the films of Jasmila Žbanić.

This is a sad & frustrating story. Hopefully it will help some people.

😞 It is a story about how I, as a grieving father, had to step in when prosecutors dropped the ball. And how the DA's office in Austin then proceeded to make things worse.

❤️ The story does offer hope: read about our nonprofit's ongoing work to prevent future violence.

A paywall is preventing access at Austin American-Statesman; you can read the story here instead:

⭐ A big thank you to Bridget Grumet and Mikala Compton of Austin American-Statesman for their expertise and time in writing, researching, and photographing this story.

CW: This article describes dating abuse and the murder of a high school student.
