Sorry. I see "Victim's Rights" as contradictory to the traditional rule of law. The issue in the courtroom becomes not whether the accused is guilty or not, but how much the victim suffered and that somebody has to pay - guilty or not.

It's just another liberal feather in the chief's headdress.

I think that's the idea. As great as our system of law is, I think the Founders failed to realize that some people might not want the guilty to be found guilty. The law goes out of its way to protect the falsely accused. These protections are manipulated so well by the guilty and their lawyers thet the correctly accused walk free. Meanwhile, the victim is victimized again. What is wrong with a victim knowing the HIV status of an attacker? And why only minors and old people? That makes no sense to me.
