Constitutional Amendment S EQUAL RIGHTS FOR CRIME VICTIMS

Who is Marsy? Marsy’s Law is named after Marsalee “Marsy” Ann Nicholas. Marsy was a beautiful, vibrant University of California Santa Barbara student who was stalked and killed by her ex-boyfriend in Only a week after Marsy was murdered, her mother Marcella and her brother Nick walked into a grocery store after visiting her daughter’s grave and were confronted by the accused murderer. They had no idea that he had been released on bail. Marsy’s family’s story is typical of the pain and suffering that the family members of murder victims have endured. The Nicholas family was not informed because the courts and law enforcement, though well meaning, had no obligation to keep them informed.

Marsy’s Law for South Dakota “Constitutional Amendment S”  Non-profit organization  Coalition of crime victims and advocate organizations  Supported by Marsy’s Law of All  Initiated Constitutional Amendment Process

Why Do We Need Constitutional Amendment S in SD?  Criminals in SD have constitutional rights, but their victims do not. Victims deserve equal constitutional rights.  SD is one of the last remaining states that has no constitutional rights for crime victims and no automated victim notification system.  SD has some of the weakest crime victim laws in the nation and victims do not have standing to have their rights enforced.  SD Crime Victim Rights Act only applies to crimes of violence.

What will Constitutional Amendment S do? Marsy’s Law was developed in conjunction with legal experts and the National Crime Victims Law Institute to strengthen and expand rights for crime victims.  Broadens definition of victim  Due Process (Standing to make rights enforceable)  Notification (Notification of Rights/ Notification for Criminal Procedure)  Voice (Right to be heard)  Right to documents  Right to restitution
