Official Media Statement on Lokits Trial Delay
We are incredibly disappointed by the news of the delayed trial for the murder of our sister and friend, Dr. Alyssa Dawn Lokits, within a week of its scheduled start date. It has been nearly two years of agonizing grief, through which we have steadily dedicated ourselves to carrying her legacy through the nonprofit created in her honor, Free to Move. While no amount of justice being served will ever make up for the loss of Alyssa, a sentence could provide a semblance of comfort for those left in the wake of this unimaginable tragedy. It is appalling and shameful for the defense to force the loved ones of an innocent victim to linger, painfully awaiting justice. Postponing the trial only prolongs the trauma, not just for us, but for the greater Nashville community and the millions of people who have heard Alyssa’s story.
