			 all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the
			 legislatures of three-fourths of the several States: The rights of a crime victim to fairness,
				respect, and dignity, being capable of protection without denying the
				constitutional rights of the accused, shall not be denied or abridged by the
				United States or any State. The crime victim shall, moreover, have the rights
				to reasonable notice of, and shall not be excluded from, public proceedings
				relating to the offense, to be heard at any release, plea, sentencing, or other
				such proceeding involving any right established by this article, to proceedings
				free from unreasonable delay, to reasonable notice of the release or escape of
				the accused, to due consideration of the crime victimâ€™s safety and privacy, and
				to restitution. The crime victim or the crime victim's lawful representative
				has standing to fully assert and enforce these rights in any court. Nothing in
				this article provides grounds for a new trial or any claim for damages and no
				person accused of the conduct described in section 2 of this article may obtain
				any form of relief. For purposes of this article, a crime
				victim includes any person against whom the criminal offense is committed or
				who is directly and proximately harmed by the commission of an act, which, if
				committed by a competent adult, would constitute a crime. This article shall be inoperative unless it
				has been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of
