Protecting Child Witnesses
February 10, 2011
On Tuesday, February 8th the Senate passed legislation (S1433) that protects children by allowing them to testify by closed circuit television if they have witnessed a murder. I am pleased to have voted yes for this legislation. Children who have already been traumatized by witnessing a murder should not have to be further traumatized by having to face the accused murderer in court and testify against them.
