Remembering the victims of crime

Appel­late cases in the crim­i­nal arena fre­quently focus on the rights of those accused of crimes. It is only log­i­cal that this would be the case. The accused has an attor­ney and is a party to the pro­ceed­ings. The sys­tem strives to ensure that those who are charged with crimes are treated fairly and that their Con­sti­tu­tional rights are protected.
