Laken Riley (2002 - 2024)
A University of Georgia nursing student who was murdered while jogging on campus. Her case has been exploited and politicized due to her perpetrator being a Venezuelan immigrant.
The Laken Riley Act was passed on Jan 29, 2025 by the Trump administration.

High profile cases go hand in hand with the perfect/beautiful victim archetype. Most high profile cases are young, beautiful white women from wealthy families.
The media purposely makes these girls the faces of unjust suffering not out of compassion, but because they know what will cause the most public outrage.
The truth is that divorce is an intensely personal experience, regardless of the public face you put on it. When you're in a high-profile re
The verdicts are in. I will tell that as a Black man who has been stopped without cause more times than I like to count and who has been made to feel uber cautious and vigilent when walking through a neighborhood that is predominantly White; I watched the trial with careful scrutiny. I hope this brings some closure to the family of Ahmaud Arbery. #HighProfileCase #TheMcMichealsTrial https://www.instagram.com/p/CWq2SYoL9xeF3nAz4GzxQJjgUEp8NF5wTA0oGo0/?utm_medium=tumblr
