Once a victim impact statement is accepted by the court, the reading of the victim impact statement to the court is optional and voluntary. The statement can be read out by the victim, an immediate family member of the victim or representative of the victim. It cannot be read out by the prosecutor.
Before preparing a victim impact statement, it is important to know that when it is accepted by the court, it becomes part of the court case.This means that the victim or author of the statement could be subjected to possible cross-examination, that the offender can read the statement (but not keep a copy), that the statement becomes a public document (except in relation to children) and that the media may gain access to the statement and report on the contents that are read out or referred to in court. / ghjpf;fg;gl;lthpd; ghjpg;G thf;F%yk; ePjpkd;wj;jhy; Vw;Wf;nfhs;sg;gl;lTld;> ghjpf;fg;gl;lthpd; ghjpg;G thf;F%yk; thrpf;fg;gLtJ mtuJ tpUg;gj;jpd; Nghpy; kw;Wk; jd;dpr;irahfj;jhd;. me;j thf;F%ykhdJ> ghjpf;fg;gl;ltuhNyh> ghjpf;fg;gl;lthpd; neUq;fpa FLk;g mq;fj;jpduhNyh my;yJ ghjpf;fg;gl;lthpd; gpujpepjpahNyh thrpf;fg;glyhk;. mJ muR jug;G tof;fwpQuhy; thrpf;fg;glf;$lhJ.
