Victims have mobilized, submitting legislation and various petitions aimed at removing Justice Gorman from her position in the Norfolk and Dukes County Probate and Family Courts. Their dissatisfaction stems from concerns about her handling of sensitive cases, with reports indicating that she oversees as many as thirty cases in a single day. Critics argue that this workload and judgments jeopardizes the welfare of vulnerable populations, including hundreds of children and individuals with disabilities, who rely on the court for protection and support.
Many victims are seeking accountability and are frustrated by the perceived lack of consequences for Justice Gorman's actions. They believe her continued role undermines the integrity of the judicial system and puts at risk those who depend on fair and just rulings. As this situation unfolds, victims are demanding transparency and answers regarding the decision-making process that has allowed her to remain in her position despite widespread calls for her removal.
