2012 Delaware Code
Title 11 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure
CHAPTER 94. VICTIMS' BILL OF RIGHTS
Subchapter II. Victims and Witnesses with Cognitive Disabilities
§ 9421. Legislative intent.


11 DE Code § 9421 (2012 through 146th Gen Ass) What's This?

The General Assembly finds that it is necessary to provide every victim and witness with a cognitive disability, particularly those whose disability renders them the emotional or mental equivalent of a child, with additional consideration and different treatment than that usually required for adult victims and witnesses who are not cognitively disabled. It is therefore the intent of the General Assembly to provide each victim and witness with a cognitive disability who is involved in a criminal proceeding with certain fundamental rights and protections.
