Description

The Lake County State's Attorney's Office and the Waukegan Police Department will be hosting a showing of "The Amendment," a film about victim rights. The Amendment is based on a true story about finding triumph over tragedy, injustice, and loss. In 1979, Brooks Douglass and his sister Leslie, survived a devastating crime that rocked their community and took their parents' lives. Initially sent into an emotional tailspin, Brooks regained his footing, became Oklahoma's youngest state senator and championed important victim's rights legislation. The event will include a resource fair and a panel discussion about the film and victim rights.
