NECN 3/12/13: Lauren Astley’s parents helping to prevent dating violence. An attorney for Nathaniel Fujita is planning an appeal for his murder conviction. A jury rejected the teen’s insanity defense, convicting him in the death of his ex-girlfriend Lauren Astley. Astley’s parents have vowed to take action to prevent dating violence and promote healthy relationships. Malcolm Astley and Mary Dunne established the Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund, a non-profit charitable organization founded to honor the life of Lauren. Part of their mission is to promote educational programs that would help teach healthy emotions and relationships. For more information, visit their website: http://laurendunneastleymemorialfund.org/.
