  • Testimony of the Department of the Attorney General Twenty-Eighth Legislature, 2016
    TESTIMONY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TWENTY-EIGHTH LEGISLATURE, 2016 ON THE FOLLOWING MEASURE: S.B. NO. 3034, S.D. 1 RELATING TO PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO ARTICLE I OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF HAWAII TO ESTABLISH RIGHTS FOR VICTIMS OF CRIMES. BEFORE THE: HOUSE COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY DATE: Tuesday, March 15, 2016 TIME: 2 :00 p.m. LOCATION: State Capitol, Room 325 TESTIFIER(S): Douglas S. Chin, Attorney General, or Lance M. Goto, Deputy Attorney General Chair Rhoads and Members of the Committee: The Department of the Attorney General supports the bill, with these comments. The purpose of this bill is to propose an amendment to the Hawaii State Constitution to provide victims of crime with specific rights related to the criminal justice process. The Department is sympathetic to crime victims and supportive of them. And the Department greatly appreciates the effort that was needed to create this proposed legislation that supports victims' rights, while at the same time addressing the strong concerns of the other interested parties. The Department has reservations because the proposed rights for victims may adversely impact the misdemeanor and petty misdemeanor proceedings in district court. The victim's right to notice of proceedings, right to be present, right to be heard, right to confer with the attorney for the State, and right to be informed in a timely manner of any plea bargain are all reasonable and appropriate. But the district courts process many cases as quickly and efficiently as possible. Many defendants enter pleas and are sentenced at their first court appearance.
