He had sexually assaulted, tortured, and murdered those women. And he was held accountable on the state side, but I felt it was important on the federal side to not just directly attack this issue, but even indirectly attack this issue with every federal charge possible to ensure that a monster like this man never returns to any of our communities. And so I wanted to at least highlight that as we start talking about how we're addressing MMIP issues on the federal side. And taking every angle possible to put people in jail deserve to be there for the rest of their lives. And the one thing I want to say with that— The one thing I want to add with that is we've heard a lot about MMIP at Youth and Elders this week and just a lot of discussion about the issues and concerns.
