During the recent legislative session, the Florida Legislature passed the Victims of Crimes Bill, which conforms the crime victims\u2019 rights language currently in Florida statute to the amended language in the Florida Constitution,\u201d <strong>Jennifer Fennell,<\/strong> Marsy\u2019s Law for Florida spokesperson, said in a statement. \u201cThis bill makes it very clear to all those involved in the criminal justice system what rights crime victims have and when they should be applied. It also clarifies that crime victims have an absolute right to counsel. We thank the legislature and the bill sponsors for moving this important piece of legislation forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Marsy\u2019s Law for Florida is also launching its \u201cPost Your Purple\u201d social media campaign for NCVRQ, encouraging Floridians to wear something purple, take a picture of themselves and post it to their social media channels using the hashtags #PostYourPurple and #NCVRW2022.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flori-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"flori-385599363\">\n<div id=\"post-ads\">\n<div class=\"dfad dfad_pos_1 dfad_first\" id=\"post-ads_ad_486573\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.katforcongress.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-486574\" src=\"https:\/\/floridapolitics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/KatCammack-DisplayAds-728x90-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"\/><br \/>\n<span class=\"post-views-label\">Post Views:<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"post-views-count\">0<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/floridapolitics.com\/archives\/518881-marsys-law-for-florida-to-light-landmarks-purple-for-national-crime-victims-rights-week\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Every April, NCVRW is observed in support of crime victims.
