BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. - Behind every crime is a victim, but they often go unnoticed. The State of Tennessee is honoring victims this week and those who work with them on their cases through the court system. Crime often leaves voids in the lives of victims. "Honor those victims whether it's a child murdered, adult raped, or victims of property crime," says District Attorney General Barry Staubus. The State of Tennessee is planting eight trees across the state in special ceremonies to raise awareness about the victims of crimes. One tree was planted Thursday in front of the Sullivan County Child Advocacy Center. "To have this tree planted and me be the recipient it’s the biggest honor of my life, to me it shows this tree will grow, victims can heal, they need nurturing just like this tree needs nurturing," says Amy Whitt-Bachman, who was honored with the Voices of Victim’s Award by the Tennessee Board of Parole and the Department of Corrections.
