A System That Failed Kristen Chavez: The High Price of Houston's Justice 'Reform'

Kristen Chavez should be alive today. She should be holding her beloved dachshund Peaches, surrounded by the pets she called her “babies.” She should be enjoying life, not lying in a cold morgue, the victim of unspeakable brutality. But thanks to a system that continually prioritizes criminals over victims, Kristen’s life was stolen from her in one of the most horrific ways imaginable.
