Beyond the Victims' Bill of Rights: The Shield Becomes a Sword

Abstract

Although the Victims' Bill of Rights grants victims the right to refuse a defense interview, it does not follow that the defense may be precluded from requesting one. Because the Victims' Rights Implementation Act prohibits the defense from contacting the victim to request an interview, it contravenes the First Amendment, and creates innumerable difficulties that negatively impact the administration of justice.
