Giving Crime Victims More of A Voice in N.H. Courtrooms

Pixaby

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.

This program will air on Thursday,  January 8 at 9 a.m., and will be rebroadcast again at 7 p.m. Audio of the discussion will be available after the show. 

GUESTS:

  • Patti LaFrance -  currently a civil litigator in Nashua; she was a felony prosecutor from 2001-2017, working with victims of violent crimes.  She was elected Hillsborough County Attorney from 2013-2014. 
  • Buzz Sherr -  professor of law at UNH School of Law.
