PA’s Version Of Marsy’s Law Just One Senate Vote Away From Going Before Voters

A constitutional amendment to enshrine the rights of crime victims in the Pennsylvania Constitution is a state Senate vote away from going before voters in a referendum. Pennsylvania’s proposed version of Marsy’s Law was approved Monday in the House of Representatives by a vote of 190 to 8. It would give victims the right to be notified, to attend and to weigh in during plea hearings, sentencings and parole proceedings.
