My question involves the rights of crime victims in the state of: Maryland
My friend has recently had the extreme misfortune of being sexually assaulted. She has just recently decided to file charges and is dealing with all of the legality that comes along with this. I thought I could help her out by trying to find her some answers to the less personal questions involved with the incident and so here I am. The question I'm looking for an answer to is about legal representation for victims. In the event of pursuing criminal charges such as these, will my friend be appointed a legal representative by the sate? Or will she have to commission one herself?
