Measure would allow
victims to demand iurv
■ Measure 70 would stop
defense attorneys from
choosing sympathetic
judges to hear their case
By Brian Goodell
Oregon Daily Emerald
Criminals have the right to tri
al-by-jury. On Nov. 2, voters will
decide whether crime victims
should get the same right.
Measure 70 is one of several
victims’ rights measures on the
ballot this year.
According to the Oregon Con
stitution, only the accused person
has the right to demand a jury tri
al. Measure 70 would grant vic
tims, through the prosecutor, an
independent constitutional right
to demand a jury trial in criminal
cases.
Proponents of Measure 70 feel
it is important to put crime vic
tims’ rights on the same level as
defendants’ rights. Criminals of
ten waive their right to a jury trial
if they feel the judge in their case
will be sympathetic to their
cause.
According to J.L. Hobgood of
Crime Victims United, giving vic
tims the opportunity to a jury trial
is the only chance they have for a
fair outcome.
“This measure in no way im
pedes the defendant’s right to a
fair trial,” Hobgood said in this
year’s Voters’ Pamphlet. “It
would stop defense attorneys
from shopping for a judge who
will rule in their favor.”
Opponents feel that if Measure
70 passes, government prosecu
tors will have too much power in
criminal n caes.
“Prosecutors don’t need more
power than judges in our court
rooms, yet that’s exactly what
some of these measure do,” said
Rep. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene,
in reference to all six crime vic
tims’ initiatives. “In fact, some of
these measures will give govern
ment prosecutors the same kind
of power as Kenneth Starr. That’s
not the Oregon way.”
Opponents said they are also
hesitant to amend the constitu
tion when the laws in Measure 70
are already provided for in Ore
gon Statutes.
Sen. Lane Bryant, R-Bend, was
a member of the Congressional
Explanatory Committee responsi
ble for impartially explaining
Measure 70 in the 1999 Voters’
Pamphlet. Bryant said he will
vote against Measure 70.
“Unless it’s extremely impor
tant, I’m reluctant to amend the
constitution,” Bryant said.
Steve Doell of Crime Victims
United disagrees with Bryant. He
said voters must amend the Ore
gon Constitution because it is a
living document.
“We would still have slavery
and women would not be al
lowed to vote if the U.S. Constitu
tion wasn’t amended,” Doell said.
“It’s time to put crime victims’
rights on the same playing field as
crime defendants’ rights.”
