In Pennsylvania, crime sufferers and their advocates have labored tough over the last twenty years to persuade lawmakers to enact a number of the most comprehensive sufferers’ rights legal guidelines within the country. Despite that, there nevertheless isn’t any guarantee crime sufferers will have a voice in the criminal justice technique.

That is why I am sponsoring Marsy’s Law for Pennsylvania (HB276), to present constitutional protection to crime sufferers’ rights.

Having spent 25 years running with sufferers and their families, I recognize too well the wide variety of times the sufferer’s voice become ignored, leaving victims and their families victimized, all over again, and not using a resource.

It’s crucial to recognize, but, that raising victims’ rights isn’t a zero-sum game. Elevating the crime victim rights to the constitution does not lessen the rights of the accused and convicted.

I could argue that no one within the General Assembly respects the criminal justice process more than I do. And I consider that elevating crime victims’ rights and protecting the rights of the accused can coexist.

We want stability in our gadget, that is why I actually have sponsored Marsy’s Law as well as co-created the bipartisan Criminal Justice Reform Caucus, which goals to address troubles that avoid the capability to effectively re-input society after a criminal conviction. Common feel modifications can take place for victims and people who have served their time.

Therefore, permit’s be clear: Under Marsy’s Law, sufferers’ rights don’t trump defendants’ constitutional rights. Instead, Marsy’s Law gives sufferers a voice (now not a veto) in the criminal justice method.

Pennsylvania is presently one in all only 9 states that do not contain victims’ rights into its constitution.

Clearly, the remainder of states across the united states that already shield sufferers’ rights of their constitution have now not run roughshod over the rights of the accused and convicted, nor have they clogged up the courts with the aid of making sure victims’ rights are covered.

And states like Pennsylvania which have been overdue to the sport are mending their constitutions. Just remaining yr on my own, Marsy’s Law was accepted in six states, consisting of Nevada, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. Clearly, they remember the fact that we are able to reform our crook justice gadget to defend sufferers without injuring defendants.

It’s crucial to take into account how far we’ve got come at some stage in this National Victims’ Rights Week, especially with its theme of “Honoring our Past, Creating Hope for the Future.” This is the time to act on that wish for the future and inspire our pals, households, and lawmakers to help Marsy’s Law.

The General Assembly already unanimously approved Marsy’s Law ultimate yr. To amend the charter, we ought to approve it again after which citizens should approve it at the ballot this November. Crime has an everlasting impact on its victims. It is time to provide them eternal protection.
