Empowering Crime Victims: Know Your Legal Rights
Hello, I’m Oklahoma City criminal defense attorney Gunner Briscoe with the Wirth Law Office.
If you are a victim of a crime, you have specific rights under the law. These include:
-
- The right to be notified of all court proceedings and to be present.
-
- The right to be heard at plea hearings, sentencing, bail or bond hearings, and parole proceedings.
-
- The right to be notified of certain developments, such as if the defendant is released on bond or if the case is overturned on appeal.
However, these rights are not automatic—you must request or invoke them. It’s essential to understand that navigating the legal system can be complex and overwhelming.
Hiring a victims’ rights attorney can help ensure your rights are protected. An attorney can also assist in pursuing the restitution you are entitled to and making sure your concerns are considered at the defendant’s bond hearing and sentencing.
