What must the court inform the victim about during the investigation?

The court is required to keep the victim informed about the status of analysis on evidence, including results of DNA comparisons during the investigation. This is essential because victims have a right to know information that directly affects their case and their sense of safety. Keeping them updated on the progress of evidence analysis helps ensure their involvement in the judicial process and can provide them with some assurance that the investigation is actively ongoing.

Understanding the timeline and findings related to evidence analysis, including DNA results, is crucial for the victim as it can impact their decisions regarding cooperating with law enforcement or seeking protective measures. By emphasizing victims' rights to information about the investigation, the law aims to empower them and ensure transparency in the criminal justice process.
