How will Marsy’s Law NC provide these rights to victims?

It guarantees equal rights to crime victims in a number of important ways including:

• informing victims and their families about their rights and the services available to them,

• giving them the right to receive notification of proceedings and major developments in a criminal case,

• protecting their safety by notifying them in a timely manner regarding changes to the offender’s custodial status, and

• allowing victims and their families to exercise their right to be present - and heard - at court proceedings.
