Which of the following is NOT listed among Marsy's Law rights?

• A. Right to notification of all court proceedings
• B. Right to legal standing
• C. Right to speedy trial
• D. Right to restitution

Answer: (C)

Marsy’s Law focuses on victims’ rights to participate in the criminal justice process, stay informed, and be treated with fairness and restitution where appropriate. A key distinction is that it enhances the victim’s role and protections, not the defendant’s procedural guarantees.

The option describing a right to a speedy trial is not part of Marsy’s Law because a speedy trial is a fundamental protection for the accused under the Sixth Amendment. It aims to prevent undue delays in bringing a case to trial, not to guarantee or outline rights for victims. In contrast, Marsy’s Law commonly includes rights like being notified of court proceedings and receiving restitution, which align with ensuring the victim can follow and participate in the process and obtain compensation for losses.
