remedied by the presiding judge but we feel that's a problem and may be part of the systemic problem why women and victims or survivors don't come forward. they need to know they will be respected and their voices will be heard. >> dana: kristen i imagine that you never thought that you would be in this position but now you have made a decision to speak publicly and try to help others. >> yes, yes. my goal is really to help bring resources to other domestic violence survivors. just to help them regain control over their lives and move forward. it is very taxing mentally and physically. >> dana, go ahead. i was going to say victims need to know they will be respected. now i think the word is getting out on marcy's law. if they don't feel like they get the help and support they need from the law enforcement community they can reach out to private attorneys to file motions on their behalf. they have standing in courts now in florida to file those kinds of motions and we'll insure and fight to make sure
