The program appears to be well-researched and I cannot see how, if properly conducted, this program could be anything except a win-win. As a survivor of homicide, I was treated with respect by all in attendance, especially the leaders of the seminar. It was a very positive experience for me.<br />Lhelpfixthehurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16395004019647719172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787561676629617715.post-81482997427294474222009-06-15T23:25:13.253-04:002009-06-15T23:25:13.253-04:00As someone that will be speaking to this same grou...As someone that will be speaking to this same group next week, I am really glad I came across your blog. When I mentioned to the prosecutor in our case that I was speaking at DIVO (which he had never heard of), he said, "I think that the seminar leaders might have bitten off more than they can chew by asking you to speak to them. I encourage you to not hold back anything. Let them know that the actions of the defense attorneys throughout our trial were hurtful; and how they persisted in dragging Lisa’s past into the trial; and how they tried to make the murder case about Lisa . . . . "<br />I appreciate your candor and will try to connect back with you to give you my feelings. I have a website www.fixthehurt.org, should you choose to find out more about Lisa.<br />I am very sorry that you lost your father in such a terrible way. My heartfelt best to you and your family.
