A Commitment to Justice
The CBA has agreed to exempt Chloe's trial from their recent withdrawal of services, a decision that reflects a commitment to serving victims and ensuring that cases are heard in court. Minister Long met with the Mitchell family and remarked on their resilience and determination in the face of adversity. "We must never lose sight of the fact that victims are central to everything we do," she stated, emphasizing the importance of protecting and serving those affected by crime.
A Community Rallying for Change
In their response to the news, the Mitchell family expressed gratitude towards Minister Long and numerous political representatives for their support. They acknowledged the relief and emotional weight lifted as the trial date approaches, stating, "The knots in our stomachs have eased and our nerves are that little bit calmer knowing progress is being made."
The family also conveyed hopes for other trials to proceed, encouraging constructive dialogue to address the barrister strike that has impacted the legal system. Their message echoes a larger call within the community for prompt and fair resolution to ongoing legal matters, seeking not just justice for Chloe but broader improvements within the system.
Collective Strength and Support
As the trial date of February 23 approaches, the Mitchell family stands united in their quest for justice. Their gratitude extends to the CBA for engaging in discussions and making the positive decision to allow the trial to move forward. The family's message has resonated with many, reflecting a strong community bond in support of their fight for justice.
