Hi all,
Below please find an article explaining Marsy’s Law/the pa amendment that will be on the ballot on November 5. I had no idea this would be on the ballot.
The article does a nice job of explaining the possible long term and widespread impact of this bill. Please know that I work with kids who have experienced abuse and trauma so I am aware of and fully support some of these changes. This article also addresses how this law could be interpreted to place more legal barriers in pre-trial discovery for the accused. Victim’s rights are important and so are those of the accused.--
