(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Shauna Mayne embraces Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson after appearing before the Senate Judiciary, Law Enforcement, and Criminal Justice Committee in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023. Henderson and Mayne spoke in support of a Senate bill beefing up how the state combats domestic violence. Mayne's daughter Amanda was murdered in 2022. While the Legislature passed a law to help domestic violence victims that year, it is cutting funding for domestic violence and sexual assault programs this year.
