Abstract

During the October 16 event, Wright discussed her faith and how it has helped her deal with some of the difficult cases that come across her desk. She also noted that although everyone wants to win, that can’t always be the case. Still, those losses provide a voice for the victims and their families with whom she works. She sees the prosecutor’s role as not only a representative of the state, but also a means by which those who have been the subject of violence, often of a terrible nature, can be heard. When those victims are children, that role is all the more profound.
