I've always considered my work as a voice of victim's rights as much as I could possibly be and this recognition is a validation of my efforts and I was really appreciative of receiving this recognition," said Greg Edwards, Chief Assistant District Attorney.
Greg Edwards was nominated for the award by District Attorney Ken Hodges and Victim's Services Director Sybil Collins.
