Guest opinion: Protecting victims remains a Florida priority

Guest opinion: Protecting victims remains a Florida priority © Special to The News-Press Amira Fox The past few years have brought many changes to our justice system, one of the most impactful being the passage of Marsy’s Law for Florida. Victims have constitutionally protected rights to notification and, importantly, now have the option to protect their personally identifiable information from being released without their consent.    Our responsibility as leaders in our communities and enforcers of the Florida Constitution is to ensure that victims are protected, while protecting the rights of those accused of a crime. In our circuit, which covers Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, and Lee Counties, that responsibility meant bolstering our existing notification standards and protecting the identity of victims from being released if they opted into the process.

Ponce s Law activist s bill aims to set dog house minimum standards

A local animal rights activist is the driving force behind bills that would set standards for animal shelters, whether it’s a dog house in someone’s back yard or an institutional shelter housing multiple animals. Debbie Darino, a Port Orange resident who led the fight for Ponce’s Law, said she is working to get the bill passed because she has seen far too many dogs kept in terrible conditions. “So many people have no idea what basically a dog house is and they have their animals in all these confinements that are just cruel some of them, some of them they just made them themselves or whatever,” Darino said. “So I made a definition of what that should be, so that we have something to go by.”
