AG Nessel issued the following statement in response:  

“Victims who come forward to report crimes and witnesses who step up to tell the truth should be able to trust that the justice system will do everything in its power to keep them safe. The unfortunate reality is that this revision to the court rules does the exact opposite. By allowing addresses and phone numbers to be handed over to defendants, this change places survivors and witnesses in harm’s way and creates a fear that silences victims, discourages cooperation with law enforcement, and allows offenders to evade accountability.” – AG Nessel
