CHC 322 - Purpose
CHAPTER 8. SPECIAL AUTHORITY OF COURTS;
PROTECTED PERSONS; VIDEOTAPING;
CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION
Art. 322. Purpose
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide further protection for protected persons who are witnesses to or victims of a crime and to permit the trial concerning such crime to proceed with a minimum of additional intrusion into the lives of such protected persons. To effect this purpose, the need for a special exception to the hearsay rule allowing receipt of videotaped statements of the protected person's account and the need for closed-circuit television for transmitting certain protected person's testimony is recognized.
