Business Leaders for Victim
Justice
The nation’s
economic health is only as strong as our capacity for justice and freedom is
robust.
As Business Leaders
for Victim Justice we write for our companies and our employees to urge
enactment of the Kyl-Feinstein Crime Victims Rights Amendment because we see
that the capacity for both justice and freedom is diminished by a criminal
system that does not extend any constitutional rights to crime victims. This
failure is obvious to even the most casual observer; it is a source of pain and
injustice for our employees and those we serve.
The solution to the
problem is equally obvious. For crime victims to be afforded basic rights they
must be secured by our basic charter, the United States Constitution. Only when
the rights of the law abiding are protected in the same way as the rights of
the accused will there be balance and fairness in our criminal courts.
We commend you for
your tireless efforts in this important cause and we stand ready to help take
your message to the country.
