Not a lawyer, but a victim or their representative(s) have the right in MD to attend any hearing where the defendant is present. Mosby says her office didn’t violate their rights because Lee’s family could have dialed in on Zoom, Lee family lawyers says the family isn’t technically inclined and the parents need translation assistance, and they were not given proper notice or support to arrange anything, and the judge agreed that this was a violation of their rights.

And we all know and saw what actually happened. Mosby was losing, this hearing came up right before the election and used it to grandstand on the courthouse steps as some kind of personal accomplishment. She never gave a hoot about victims’ families, other than for grandstanding around an election.
