Marcella Nicholas Leach (August 23, 1929 – March 15, 2015) was an American victims' rights advocate based in Southern California and the mother of businessman Henry Nicholas.[1] After the murder of her daughter, Marsalee (Marsy) Nicholas in 1983, she helped build Justice for Homicide Victims, one of California's early victims' rights organizations.[2] Her late daughter is the namesake for Marsy's Law, the California Constitutional Amendment and Victims' Bill of Rights, which appeared on the November, 2008, ballot as Proposition 9.[3]
