A VICTIM'S PAIN
Chris Wrolstad, left, cries on the shoulder of her husband, Jim Wrolstad, right, after delivering an extremely emotional "victim impact" statement during the sentencing of Correll Hicks Jr. for the murder of her daughter, Jessica Smith in a domestic violence incident in September, 2002. In the background is Rick Smith, the father of Jessica Smith who also gave an emotional statement in court. Hicks Jr. was sentenced to 26 years to life in prison for the murder. The statements the family gave, including ones by Jessica's brother and a cousin, provided a glimpse into grief an extended family experiences long after a domestic violence crime is committed. The sentencing took place in the courtroom of Judge Michael Garcia in Sacramento Superior Court, Friday, September 10, 2004.
