“Today’s decisions are a great victory for crime victims’ rights in Wisconsin!
“By upholding the constitutional rights granted via Marsy’s Law, victims can be sure their voice will be heard and their rights defended throughout the criminal justice process. In overturning Shiffra, the Supreme Court ensured the privacy of victim medical records.
“Victims can now have the peace of mind that their privacy will be respected and their health care records, especially their communications, will remain confidential and privileged. Both decisions are huge victories for victims and the law-abiding public.
“I am equally disappointed that given the overwhelming majorities in both cases, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley sided with accused criminals over victims of crime.”
