sue them
Although working within our corrupt and worthless system is usually beneath my contempt, you may be right this time if lawsuits will cause suffering to the criminals who did this.
If not, then back outside the wimpy system “to walk forthrightly into the bright sunshine of human rights.” that Hubert Humphrey referred to in his 1948 speech.
(He meant kissing up to the Dem wing that wanted to overrun states’ rights in order to boost civil rights to pander to black votes, but the line still looks good.)
We now have criminal rights but no human rights such as for victims and future victims.
