Iowa Prosecutor Proposes Amendment to State Constitution to Protect Child Witnesses
"Finally! It's time to prioritize our kids' safety in court. They shouldn't have to face their abusers."
"Is this amendment the best way to handle the issue? What about defendants' rights?"
"I worry this could lead to unfair trials. Every defendant deserves a fair shake!"
"This sounds like a slippery slope. What's next, limiting more rights?"
"I applaud the effort to help children testify without fear. It's crucial!"
"What happens if a child testifies remotely and the jury can't see their demeanor?"
"This might impact how we handle all cases. We need to tread carefully."
"I find it hard to believe Iowa is the only state that has this interpretation!"
"It's sad that parents must choose between justice and their child's safety."
"Can we trust the judicial system to implement this fairly? Let's be vigilant!"
