From police officers to detectives to forensic experts to medical examiners to prosecuting attorneys to witnesses and even informants, everyone contributed. No one gave up!

The reason for writing my sister's story is to display my everlasting, ever-loving memories of Mary H. Smith. She was my second eldest female sibling. Her story is about how she was killed and how her crime was eventually solved after 23 years. As I wrote this story I relived the events of:How my parents reacted when they went to the morgue to view my sister's badly beaten body.How my niece Michelle Strickland, a Cook County Correctional officer, discovered the murderer, a felon by the name of "Escort", by processing his paperwork.How our neighbors processed Mary's death and consoled none of us. How my longtime friend from the neighborhood came to me with two pistols. One for each of us to exact revenge and how we learned later that our target had nothing to do with the crime.

There is a silent epidemic of childhood sexual abuse in the United States and a legal system that is not effectively protecting children from predators. Recent coverage of widespread abuse in the public schools and in churches has brought the once-taboo subject of childhood sexual abuse to the forefront. The problem extends well beyond schools and churches, though: the vast majority of survivors are sexually abused by family or family acquaintances with 90 percent of abuse never reported to the authorities. Marci A. Hamilton proposes a comprehensive yet simple solution: eliminate the arbitrary statutes of limitations for childhood sexual abuse so that survivors past and present can get into court. In Justice Denied, Hamilton predicts a coming civil rights movement for children and explains why it is in the interest of all Americans to allow victims of childhood sexual abuse this chance to seek justice when they are ready.
