Texas: Travis County DA hopeful and Jessika for Justice discuss Austin's forgotten victims
DA CANDIDATE DANIEL BETTS
Travis County, Texas
Daniel Betts is running for District Attorney
The city of Austin, Texas has been a focal point for the entire country as the city has become a major attraction for musicians, artists, and entrepreneurs. But can they maintain the environment that has become an attraction nationwide?
Forgotten victims of violent crimes in Travis County are not merely upset because their case did not receive justice. The reality appears much darker than a lack of evidence, the concern is that violent crime is not being properly investigated and prosecuted when there is sufficient evidence.
Daniel Betts has listed a few specific priorities that he would like to address in Austin as he is a candidate for district attorney:
- Partner with law enforcement
- More jury trials
- Take politics out of prosecuting
- Expedite cases
- Lower Crime
The Mourning Feed does not endorse political candidates. We feel it is important to provide accurate information to crime victims in order to make the right choice in local elections. During election cycles the primary focus is ultimately on the presidential candidates, we feel it is vital to be informed about local elections that directly effect the everyday lives in the citizens who live there. It is vital to pay close attention the individuals who we trust to properly apply the law when necessary. Candidates who are more interested in protecting criminals than seeking truth and justice can inflict harm on their local communities by allowing violent crime to spiral.
The case listed below that mentions Trevon Fox was dismissed for alleged lack of evidence, the suspect was later charged with the murder of Jonathan Rogers after being released. The case against the suspect in relation to Jonathan was also dismissed.
DA hopeful Daniel Betts joined Jessika for Justice to discuss the forgotten victims and the current election. We encourage Travis County residents to watch this episode as public safety appears to be in a crisis in Austin, Texas. There are too many developing situations in Travis County to leave it in incapable hands. The community of Austin cannot continue to thrive if violent crime continues to spiral.
