Criminal Procedure - Rape Victim Shield Statute
Get PDFRecently the Supreme Court of North Carolina considered for the first time the constitutionality of North Carolina\u27s rape victim shield statute, N.C. GEN. STAT. § 8-58.6 (hereinafter referred to as G. S. 8-58.6, or the statute ). In State v. Fortney, the court upheld the statute as free from constitutional defect. Mr. Justice Carlton, writing for the court, examined the defendant\u27s argument that his constitutional right of confrontation had been violated because the statute prevented him from automatically questioning a prosecuting witness about her prior sexual experiences. The court did not concur. In upholding the statute, the court cited three reasons for rejecting the defendant\u27s contentions: (1) there is no constitutional right to ask a witness irrelevant questions; (2) in its impact and application, G. S. 8-58.6 is primarily procedural and does not alter any of the defendant\u27s substantive rights; and (3) valid policy reasons support the statute. The apparently liberal construction of its language may have weakened the statute\u27s capacity to shield rape victims, but the Fortney court\u27s interpretation significantly strengthened the statute\u27s defense against constitutional attack
