"Today at about 3:00 P.M. President Arterski and his cabinet announced the enactment of new laws concerning victims rights. This has been a growing movement as of late and President Arterski has made it possible."

The laws are as followed:

1) A victim of a crime, as shall be defined by law, or his or her guardian or representative shall have: The right to be informed of all criminal court proceedings; the right to be present at trial unless the trial court finds sequestration necessary for a fair trial for the defendant; and the right to be informed of, be present at, and make an oral or written statement at sentencing, parole, pardon, commutation, and conditional release proceedings. This enumeration of certain rights for crime victims shall not be construed to impair or deny others provided by law or retained by crime victims.

2) The legislature shall provide by law for the implementation of the rights granted in this section. There shall be no remedies other than as specifically provided by the Legislature for the enforcement of the rights granted by this section.


3) Nothing in this section shall constitute a basis for error in favor of a defendant in any criminal proceeding, a basis for providing standing to participate as a party to any criminal proceeding, or a basis to contest the disposition of any charge.

"President Arterski also made a quick statement about the new Victims Rights laws."

"...Today is a great day in our history. We can start to focus more on helping the victim and their families. I urge all nations to join in on this great day. Now if you excuse me, I have a meeting to get to..."
