“Through the years I worked closely with her, anytime I had a victim issue, anytime I needed anything, I could call her, email her, walk into her office and I would talk to her and she would just do it, she would just go out there. Advocacy. She fought for those victims, whether it was against a defendant, against us, and literally sometimes we were just had different viewpoints about a case. But she never gave up that advocacy for that victim,” says Finnell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Rosanne never forgot a victim, ever. We miss her. I miss her every day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
