  4. Statement of Purpose and Intent

The expressed purpose of Marsy’s Law is to:

  1. Provide victims with rights to justice and due process.
  2. Eliminate parole hearings in which there is no likelihood a murderer will be paroled, and to provide that a convicted murderer can receive a parole hearing no more frequently than every three years, and can be denied a follow-up parole hearing for as long as 15 years.
