MARSY’S LAW TO APPEAR ON PRIMARY BALLOT

MARSY’S LAW TO APPEAR ON PRIMARY BALLOT

A question about a state constitutional amendment to give victims of crimes as equal of rights as defendants is appearing on the ballot next week.

Marsy’s Law is a Wisconsin constitutional amendment that would notify victims of crimes about their rights and specific public proceedings during the criminal justice process.

Opponents say the language in the law is too vague and leaves room for interpretation, and advocates say the law levels the playing field. There are 16-rights listed in the bill and they’re already adopted as Wisconsin state law, but advocates say Marsy’s law will make them stronger.

The Wisconsin State Primary Election is next Tuesday, April 7th.
