Cathy Riddell wants to move on, but the justice system has kept her stuck in time.
She hopes other victims of crime don’t have to endure what she and more than a dozen other survivors — and numerous grieving relatives — of the worst attack in Toronto’s history have gone through.
It’s been four years since Riddell was attacked by a man who, angered by women who wouldn’t sleep with him and radicalized in the bowels of the internet, deliberately drove a rented van down a busy Toronto sidewalk.
Yet the criminal case stretches on.
“Nowhere along the line is there any true consideration of victims,” Riddell said in a recent interview. “We just don’t matter.”
