Washington and the Forfeiture by Wrongdoing Clause - In the landmark case of Crawford v. Washington (2004), the U.S. Supreme Court revolutionized the interpretation of the Sixth Amendment's Confrontation Clause, shifting the legal landscape regarding the admission of testimonial evidence in criminal trials.

But the two bodyguards constantly at her side tend to discourage people from approaching her.” Chicago Tribune, Domestic Detail, October 1993 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6658b61e7490bd594f0f2ec0/a4f7fa3e-a7d2-4393-a3ed-b12aadc2d5fe/1461639_10151767801432849_1449526940_n.jpg Learning Hub - The Evolution of the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit: From Susan Murphy Milano’s Vision to Widespread Advocacy - “In a single day last week (the only day that she counted), 300 people called Milano. The phone calls always pour in when women die after allegedly being stalked by abusive men. A week ago, the phones had gone crazy: Two women were killed as well as the boyfriend of a third.” -Chicago Tribune https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6658b61e7490bd594f0f2ec0/f3a5af54-bf7d-422e-b14e-f56503fa9256/Susan10.jpg Learning Hub - The Evolution of the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit: From Susan Murphy Milano’s Vision to Widespread Advocacy - A Force “I gave myself five years to change the way this problem is perceived. I’m going to change the way everybody sees this stuff. The victim has so few rights. They make these women jump through hoops. He’s the one who’s committing a crime–and she’s the one who has to prove her endangerment 24 hours a day. A marriage license is not a lifetime title of ownership, and it’s past time that every segment of our society understood that.” -Chicago Reader “Singlehandedly, Susan was the force behind dragging the battered women’s network into the media.” -Chicago Tribune “I tell her, ‘You need to rest.’ But she just keeps doing it, doing it, doing it. I think we need more people like her. I think there should be clones of Susan. It’s not like she’s a counselor–but when you need her, she’s there.” -Dawn Wilson, Survivor https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6658b61e7490bd594f0f2ec0/93488405-674f-4c38-a68d-a101a5c213d6/DTA%2BLogo%2B2500%2BBORDER.png Learning Hub - The Evolution of the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit: From Susan Murphy Milano’s Vision to Widespread Advocacy - If you are a victim of violence, stalking, or harassment this link takes you directly to the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit.
