"We commend the petition's author, David Lorenz, of the state's chapter of Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests(SNAP), who is among the countless courageous survivors forcefully speaking out in support of this urgently needed statute of limitation legislative reform to finally provide a real pathway to justice for victims of all forms of sexual abuse in our state," said attorneys Robert K. Jenner (Jenner Law) and M. Elizabeth ("Beth") Graham (G&E).
