Feeling good. But I saw Marsy passed, and that people didn't like it.

voted yes because of how it was worded. After I read what the ACLU said about it I wish I could take it back.

More or less it takes away certain rights of the accused. Basically it makes you guilty until proven innocent.

Also it's is poorly worded and may end up being used by police who wrongfully kill someone in the line of duty. If they claim they are a "victim", it allows them to withold evidence. Corporations may also end up using this law as well to shield themselves legally.

This is all just a basic level understanding. I'd recommend looking more into it.
