Fox 5 Atlanta Highlights Connor Mediate’s Story and Our Fight for Justice
Date: February 7, 2025
On February 7, 2025, Fox 5 Atlanta aired a powerful report by journalist Deidra Dukes covering the ongoing delays in the trial for Connor Mediate’s murder. Her segment brought much-needed attention to the pain our family has endured while waiting nearly three years for justice—and the broader systemic issues that continue to delay it.
Raising Awareness Through Media Coverage
This story doesn’t just highlight our family’s grief — it echoes a larger issue that must be addressed. The segment focused on the unacceptable delay in bringing Connor’s case to trial and called attention to the urgent need for justice reform in Georgia.
As mentioned in the report, we now have a tentative trial date set for June 23rd. While we remain hopeful and focused on that day, our eyes are also set on long-term change — ensuring that no other family has to wait this long for justice in a clear-cut case of violent crime.
Introducing the Justice for Connor Initiative
In honor of Connor’s memory, we’ve launched the Justice for Connor initiative. This platform was created to serve as:
- A resource for those following Connor’s case
- A rallying point for advocacy and legislative reform
- A place to honor victims and support grieving families
We invite you to learn more about Connor’s story and stand with us in calling for real change — especially in our efforts to end bail eligibility for felony murder cases in Georgia.
