Thank You, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome of the witnesses and thank them for being here today.
My questions will be for you, Mr. Waller.
You spoke to us about the importance of informing victims, and I think it is a crucial issue. I’m sure you know that you are not the first witness to identify the problem.
I would like you to tell me more about it. You were talking about California, but what does that state do, exactly?
I would also like to know if it would be helpful and desirable for victims of crime to automatically be included in the trial, summoned and represented, so they can participate in all the steps of a criminal trial that impacts them.
