As the supreme law of the land, the US Constitution provides TWENTY-THREE fundamental rights for someone accused of a crime and ZERO fundamental rights for someone victimized by the same crime. Result: Victims of crime virtually have no legal standing in the United States Constitution.
In the 113th CONGRESS, a House Joint Resolution 40 proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to protect the rights of crime victims was introduced April 23, 2013.
Text of the proposed amendment
