Marsy's Law has passed in many states; Tennessee would be about the 15th. It gives victims notice, presence, and a voice in the process — hard to argue against caring for the wronged, and the House passed it 93-0. The quiet caution defense attorneys raise nationally is that constitutional victim 'rights' can collide with a defendant's due-process rights and slow cases down. Read it as a real good with a procedural cost worth watching, not a free lunch.
"Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy."
— Psalm 82:3 (KJV)
