The Right to Be Hearing in the Proceedings of a High-Sensitive Tribunal
The right to be heard at every stage of the criminal proceedings has been given to alleged victims. Most alleged victims did not address the court until after a conviction or plea. The "motion to exclude witnesses" is denied a lot now. Alleged victims have a right to be in court and prosecutors are trained to call alleged victims who will be witnesses in the case to testify first so they can remain the courtroom for the entire trial.
A note on the equivalence principle for non-commutative mechanics
It is payment for an injury or loss. When a crime causes a victim a financial loss, the criminal may be ordered to pay back the money.
Marsy's Law and Other Victim Rights
Marsalee Nicholas was a 21-year-old murder victim. Her ex-boyfriend murdered her. The accused killer was in the grocery store when Marsy's mother ran into him.
The accused was released on bail. The rights of criminal defendants are provided in state and federal constitutions. The criminal can seek recourse through the courts if the justice system fails to give them their rights.
A person can ask the court to suppress evidence obtained by the police in violation of their Fourth Amendment right. Statutes are vulnerable to political climates. Lawmakers can make changes to statutes as quickly as they want.
Changes to constitutional provisions require a lengthy process. Legislation or a citizens' initiative can be used to get a constitutional amendment on the ballot. Marsy's Law is in state constitutions to provide a level of permanency and stability that state statutory provisions lack.

The First Amendment guarantees the rights of crime victims and their families
There are more than 20 individual rights in the US Constitution that protect criminals, but there are zero that protect the rights of crime victims and their family members. Every state constitution has protections for criminals and zero rights for victims. Georgia was once one of those states.
Restitution for Post-Conviction Victims
Post-conviction entities will be required to allow victims to be present at public hearings. Automatic notification provisions for F1 and F3 offenses are expected to remain effect. The victims of crime need to be aware of their right to restitution and prosecutors should give them the tools to do so.
The types of documentation that should be discussed by prosecutors are: When victims are seeking reimbursement, prosecutors should be involved in the process. The court should order the prosecutors to pay back the money.
