Here’s his remarks on Amendment Six:
Amendment 6 (Rights of Crime Victims; Judges)-NO
Placed on the ballot by the Constitution Revision Commission.
Amendment 6 from the Constitution Revision Commission bundles three issues into one amendment. One issue in Amendment 6 would provide enumerated rights to crime victims and their families, such as the right to have input in the prosecution’s case, the right to be notified of plea deals and the right to speak in court. While I believe in victim’s rights, this would impact rights already codified in Florida statute and required by the Florida Constitution. The victim’s rights portion of Amendment 6 goes into great detail, leaving the possibility of future fixes thanks to unintended consequences would be very difficult to change in the Florida Constitution.
