Pursuant to Article I, paragraph 22 of the New Jersey Constitution , in any homicide prosecution: a. A victim's survivor may, at the time of making the in-person statement to the sentencing

court authorized by subsection n. of section 3 of P.L.1985, c. 249 ( C.52:4B-36 ), display directly to the sentencing court a photograph of the victim taken before

the homicide including, but not limited to, a still photograph, a computer-generated

presentation, or a video presentation of the victim. The time, length and content of such presentation shall be within the sound discretion

of the sentencing judge; and b. A victim's survivor may, during any judicial proceeding involving the defendant,

wear a button not exceeding four inches in diameter that contains a picture of the

victim, if the court determines that the wearing of such button will not deprive the

defendant of his right to a fair trial under the Sixth Amendment of the United States

Constitution and Article I of the New Jersey Constitution . Other spectators at such judicial proceedings may also wear similar buttons if the

court so determines. If the victim's survivor seeks to wear the button at trial, the victim's survivor
