The 31st annual National Crime Victims' Rights Week Candlelight Vigil on Staten Island brought together victims and their families to honor those affected by crime. Hosted by the Richmond County District Attorney's Office, the event featured emotional stories from victims, spoken tributes to those lost, and performances from local artists. Former Chief Assistant District Attorney Tim Koller received recognition for his years of service. District Attorney Michael E. McMahon stressed the vital need to remember victims, ensuring their voices and experiences are acknowledged within the justice system.
"It is important to remember that the victims of crime are the only participants in our criminal justice system who did not choose to be there and it is absolutely critical that we ensure that victims, their families, and their voices are never forgotten."
"The remarkable bravery displayed by these incredible Staten Islanders and the men and women of my office left inspired to continue our work in support of crime victims."
