Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. If it is difficult for such a victim or
witness to assist in an investigation or cooperate with the prosecuting
attorney because the victim or witness is being harassed, intimidated or
subjected to conflicting requirements by his or her employer, the prosecuting
attorney, sheriff or chief of police shall, upon the written request of the
victim or witness, intercede on his or her behalf to minimize any loss of pay
or other benefits which would result from his or her assistance or appearances
in court.
2. If a proceeding in court to which such
a victim or witness has been subpoenaed will not go on as scheduled, the
prosecuting attorney shall:
(a) Make a reasonable effort to notify the victim
or witness of that fact; or
(b) Provide a system of notification which allows
the victim or witness to call by telephone and receive such information.
In any case,
the prosecuting attorney shall, if the victim or witness so requests in writing
and provides a current address, ensure that written notice is mailed to that
address. If written notice would not be timely, the prosecuting attorney shall
make a reasonable effort to notify the victim or witness by some other means.
