RADIO INTERVIEW ON ISSUE 1 MARSYS LAW with Aaron Marshall
The proposed amendment would expand the rights of victims under the current Section 10a and require that the rights of victims be protected as vigorously as the rights of the accused. More specifically, for the purpose of ensuring due process, respect, fairness, and justice for crime victims and their families in the criminal and juvenile justice systems, the amendment would provide victims of crime with these specific rights:
1. The right to be treated with courtesy, fairness, and respect for their dignity and privacy throughout the criminal justice proceedings. 2. The right to receive information about their rights and services available to crime victims. 3. The right to receive timely notification of proceedings and other major developments in their case. 4. The right to receive timely notification of changes to the offender's custodial status. 5. The right to be present at court proceedings and provide input to a prosecutor before the plea deal is finalized. 6. The right to be heard at plea or sentencing proceedings or any process that may result in the offender's release. 7. The right to restitution.
