Colleen Ritzer was an empathetic, driven, young professional who had spent her entire life dreaming of becoming a teacher. And through her hard work she became one. Though she’d only been a teacher at Danvers High School for one full year, students quickly took a liking to her. But one day, in October of 2013, a student with no moral compass, compassion, or empathy took her life. Philip Chism was quickly arrested for Colleen’s rape and murder, and was prosecuted to the fullest extent that Massachusetts law allowed.
