Marsy’s Law Representation of Victims in Citrus County
What Is Marsy’s Law?
Marsy’s Law “seeks to give crime victims meaningful and enforceable constitutional rights equal to the rights of the accused.” The law was “named after Marsalee (Marsy) Ann Nicholas, who was stalked and killed by her ex-boyfriend in 1983.”

- Being treated with respect, dignity, and fairness
- Proceedings without unreasonable delay
- Having reasonable protection from the accused person throughout the justice process
- Given notice of the release, escape or death of the accused person if the accused is in custody or under supervision at the time of their death
