Will Marsy’s Law contribute to court, jail, and prison overcrowding?
Will Marsy’s Law slow down and clog the courts or contribute to jail and prison overcrowding?
Marsy’s Law does not require any different treatment of the accused, related to sentencing or otherwise, so law enforcement, juries, judges, and parole boards are still free to make decisions as they see fit. The only difference is, victims will have greater opportunity to make sure their voices are heard during the legal process.
