Description

Victim assistance efforts include advocacy and support throughout the criminal proceedings. Minnesota law grants numerous rights to victims of crime, including: - To be notified of a decision not to prosecute a domestic assault or harassment case - To be notified of the final disposition of the case - To be notified of plea negotiations, changes in scheduling of court appearances, including date, time and place of sentencing - To be present at sentencing and to object orally or in writing to a proposed plea agreement or sentence - To request that law enforcement keep your identity confidential from the public. The agency may comply if you are a victim of sexual assault or your personal safety or property is threatened
