Prosecuting Attorney

Victim Witness Program

Case Status: The Chelan County Victim/Witness Unit will notify victims and survivors of victims when felony charges are filed, and of trial and sentencing dates. This service is offered to you to aid in keeping you informed of the status of your case.  As a victim of a crime, you have the right to be present at court proceedings in this matter.  Because you are a victim of crime against persons we will need to hear from you prior to the outcome of this case.  Your opinion on how this case is handled is important to us.

How a Case is Prosecuted: Explanation of and orientation to the criminal justice process.

Community Resources: Referral to community resources and agencies which can help with short term crisis or provide long term assistance. See the section listing Community Resources.

Crime Victims Compensation: Assistance in filing for Crime Victims Compensation (CVC) benefits through the Department of Labor and Industries. These benefits are available only to victims that suffer physical or mental health injuries as the result of a criminal act, or if you are a family member of a homicide victim, you may apply for benefits. The CVC program does not pay for property crimes. For more information on this program, please contact CVC.

Restitution: Assistance with determination of financial loss for restitution in felony cases. The Victim/Witness advocate will provide the information to the Court so that if found guilty of the crime, the defendant will be ordered to pay restitution to the victim for their loss as a result of the criminal act.

Victim Impact Statement: Victims of crime have a right to describe to the court the impact the crime has had on their lives. The Victim/Witness advocate will assist you, if needed, in preparing and delivering a Victim Impact Statement to the Judge, Prosecuting Attorney handling the case and the defense attorney.

Advocacy: When requested, attend court hearings and interviews with the victim or witness. The advocate will be available to lend support as the victim or witness progress through the criminal justice system.
