Marsy's Law is a nationwide effort to bolster the rights of crime victims. Now there is a bill in the New Hampshire legislature to put these rights into the constitution. It has bipartisan support, and the Governor's endorsement, but there are concerns about possible unintended consequences, and some hesitation over constitutional change.
