Approach to the law
| “ | I realize that many victims just faced a traumatic experience, and I’m committed to seeing that justice is served upon their perpetrators in the most efficient and effective manner possible. Too often our judicial system spends more time coddling criminals and not enough energy on upholding the rights of the victims.[1] - Richard Kasunic, II[3] | ” |
