Will this proposal burden our criminal justice system?
Fact: Our justice system will not be burdened by Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, because many of these rights are already the law in Wisconsin in some form. In other words, we’ve had the infrastructure and dedicated resources to enforce these laws for years. The difference is that under this amendment, victims will be able to invoke the state of Wisconsin’s Constitution to secure all of their rights as they navigate the difficult legal process, rather than see the rights of the accused automatically trump their own rights.
