Marsy’s Law

The Pennsylvania Marsy’s Law Crime Victims Rights Amendment is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment to provide crime victims with 15 constitutional rights, including: be treated with fairness and respect for the victim’s safety, dignity and privacy; proceedings free from unreasonable delay and a prompt and final conclusion of the case; the safety of the victim and victim’s family be considered when setting the bail amount and release conditions for the accused; reasonable and timely notice of public proceedings; be present at public proceedings; be heard at proceedings where a right of the victim is implicated, including release, sentencing and parole proceedings; receive notice of pretrial disposition of the case, with the exception of grand jury proceedings; provide information to be considered before the parole of the offender; reasonable protection from the accused and those acting on the behalf of the accused; notice of the release or escape of the accused; refuse an interview, deposition or other discovery request made by the accused; full and timely restitution from the person or entity convicted; the prompt return of property when no longer needed as evidence; confer with the government’s attorney; and be informed of all rights granted by the amendment.

The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court has enjoined the acting secretary of state from counting or certifying election results, pending a court ruling on whether the amendment violates the state constitution’s requirement that separate amendments receive separate votes.
