Absent crime victims get written felony outcomes

In New York, district attorneys or their designees must give every absent crime victim a written summary of the felony outcome. This applies when the victim missed the defendant’s sentencing for a felony or acquittal after trial. The summary can come by mail, electronically, or another reasonable and secure written method. This law takes effect only when, and in the same manner as, the related 2025 notification law takes effect.
