Murder victims’ family speaks out against controversial Calif. law | Forensic Files

Cera rice she is the granddaughter of Claudia Maupin one of Daniel Marcia's victims first tell me what 1391 is and

was out there that was willing to listen because this isn't just affecting me and
it's not just affecting my family this is affecting our community so I spoke at the press conference and I I think that
was the piece that really started to circulate the most the rapists the terrorists the mass shooters they're all
out by 25 and in that process found other families that were that were also being faced by 1391 and decided it was

grandson's legacy and this is something she would have done and I just knew that
I was gonna stand out there all day long in front of the governor's window and I
