Abstract:
The murder of Dawn Jolly by her husband Randall Jolly on September 18, 1989 prompted a response by the Women of Orange County. The group has stated that the criminal justice system is soft on domestic violence and failed to protect Dawn Jolly. Trying to determine what is wrong with the system and how to fix it, excerpts from 30 interviews are pieced together highlighting the challenges of protecting against domestic. Those interviewed and quoted include judges, lawyers, police officers, abused women, and women’s rights advocates.
