Seems straightforward to me. It's pretty typical to permit testimony from those who were directly victimized. It's also pretty typical to permit impact statements from those indirectly victimized.

Exactly what I was thinking. This just sounds like it would be a victim impact statement which serves very standard.

I also fail to see how it could possibly be considered irrelevant.

But your honour it would be devastating to our case!

The judge said yes.

I love when people who apparently work as writers get stuff like if/whether wrong.

Okay, I don't: they should know better.
