    Yavapai County Attorney's OfficePrescott AZ (August 22, 2020) – Judy Fagelman, a longtime employee of the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the statewide Annual Victim Advocate Conference today.

    Sheila Polk, Yavapai County Attorney, stated: “The role of an advocate is a difficult one, often dealing with victims of emotional, physical, and mental abuse and trauma. Judy found her true calling as a victim advocate, supporting victims as they navigate the criminal justice system, giving them a voice, and helping them on the road to recovery.”

    According to Polk, one recent victim of crime who had Judy as her advocate wrote: “I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you how much I appreciated your support and wisdom during this long dark chapter in my life. . . You were a true gift from God to me, and you helped me to find the courage to stand up for myself and tell my story.”

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
