Justice Unravels: A Cycle of Violence and Neglect The arrest of Jarques Ratliff, 51, on a homicide charge in connection with Tasia Fortune's death has brought some measure of relief to her loved ones.
However, it also raises uncomfortable questions about the systems that failed this young woman. Fortune's case is a disturbing echo of America's darker aspects: racism, violence, and neglect.
Her story weaves together themes of poverty, homelessness, domestic abuse, and institutional failure to provide basic support for those in need.
