Title 17, Chapter 17, Section 9
( 17-17-9)
The victim shall have the right to wait in an area separate from the
accused, from the family and friends of the accused, and from
witnesses for the accused during any judicial proceeding involving
the accused, provided that such separate area is available and its
use in such a manner practical. If such a separate area is not
available or practical, the court, upon request of the victim made
through the prosecuting attorney, shall attempt to minimize the
victim's contact with the accused, the accused's relatives and
friends, and witnesses for the accused during any such judicial
proceeding. |
